Coming in rather late - I wonder if it is a variety of Loquat, Eriobotrya
japonica. I know the typical fruit is not grooved, hence the suggestion
that it's a variety. The stucture is similar.

I looked into that as a possibility when the image was first shown.
Eriobotrya has persistent sepals at the apex of the fruit, and the
fruits are smaller (1/2" in diameter). (The last applies to the wild
type; it may be that there are cultivars with larger fruits.)
