does anyone know anything about growing these?

I was given one as a present

have watered it and its had a lot of son,, keeps producing yellow
flowers with a small acorn sized fruit appearing behind them

Days later the fruit turns yellow and falls off


Your plant is aborting the fruit, either due to lack of pollination or
because it is not robust enough to maintain the fruit.


I have put two links below for you to see what I have

Hope that you can identify the plant from those

Thanks for any help
