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.

Black seeds int the middle and the fruit is about the size of a baseball to softball =s paw paw fruit...I think. But dont eat it on my guesses!

I just tried it, pretty bitter.
Did not look like the Kumquots I remember eating as a kid in New Orleans.

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

When they are still green, pick off maybe 5 of an 8 clump, let the rest ripen and see what happens.

I picked the yellow ones, I guess they need some more time to ripen.

The seeds are money out of a slingshot too

The remaining ones get 2/3 times bigger than normal.
And yes, the seeds make great projectiles out of slingshots.
