I have jaboticaba and it doesn't get close to that big. The jaboticaba is like a very large grape and this plant has a size of like a red delicious apple. Thanks though for the try. _________________ South Texas gardener |

Is it a native tree, or is it a specimen planting ? Is it common around your area, or one of a kind ? Are the fruit ripe (falling) or way off ?
I think Cannonball tree, has fruit on a long stalk, ball and chain type effect.
Anybody think its Diospyros texana ? |

It is a one of a kind in my area that I have seen. It is in ground and veery huge. I want to say that cannon ball hits it right on but you are correct Pag in that it doesn't grow on a ball and chain deal it grows straight on the tree. Let me look into that variety you speak of though. _________________ South Texas gardener |

I agree with calabash; flowers are wrong for cannonball. |

Check out TopTropicals.com maybe it listed on their site or you could try to contact them. There are so many usual fruits you might find it listed.
