It is also growing with a passion flower. Thanks for the input.
I know, me and my grandma found these in southern California. In spanish they are called "mocados" but I think it is slang and not a proper name. Anyways they taste fig like and are very sweet, they are safe to eat. We ate only the insides and harvested a bunch, I hope they will grown in our garden as the taste is delicious.
