It might be a Wonderful - the folliage looks right but I can't be sure. This plant is an icon of my childhood memories. It sprang up unbidden in my grandma's garden and I was lucky enough to get the only seedling it has ever produced. The fruit are small but the bush is only small. In fact at the moment she looks like she has more flowers than leaves!
She is very slow growing, and the branches are very fragile. You should use scissors to cut the fruit off because if you pull or twist you can take a whole branch with it.
She is very hardy though. She has been snapped in half a number of times (evil street children with soccer balls) and always come back.
Spring 2011: I saved some seeds from a fruit last year and now have lots and lots of beautiful tiny little seedlings.

They also strike exceptionally easy if you wanted to take cuttings.

Thanks for the heads up John! :O) Knowing that, I might take some cuttings from my friend's tree to get another variety going.
