There's a mess of these down the road, alot look pretty ripe.
First time posting an image, so cut me some slack if it messes up.
ETA: fruits like the size of a quarter/half dollar. 2 big seeds in the middle.
ETA2: Called Loquats, found them on the becnel website.

We called them Japanese Plums growing up. They're delicious and perfect for having wars/pegging cats
eta: they're really sweet once they're ripe

Don't let anyone here scoff them; they are as good as any other fruit out there when ripe. I love me some Japanese plums. also known as loquats.

Absolutely! I harvest those things each year to make wine, beer, jelly, and to jar. They're Loquats (Eriobotrya japonica, or Japanese plum).
Then I sell the seeds to a commercial wholesale nursury in the area. Very profitable. That's why I flew from Alaska to Texas...early loquat harvest.
They're only bitter if you eat them yellow. Wait until they turn more orange, then they are totally sweet with just a hint of tart. Most have orange or yellow meat. Some have white meat.
One of the most nutritious fruits in north america.
