Default What kind of tree is this (link)? Is this fruit edible?

The leaves are alternatve. Also, yes, some of the fruits can be VERY
milky. A few seem more dry, particularly the bigger ones.

Here are some pictures of the inside one of the larger ones:

Do you have a picture of the flowers? The fruit looks somewhat
like a pygmy pawpaw (Asimina pygmea), and you are in the right
area for pygmy pawpaws, but the leaves aren't right. The pawpaw
flowers however, are distinctive.
