CAN ANYONE IDENTIFY THIS TREE PLEASE (forum)

Colin starts with ...
Hullo, we have recently moved to a great acreage at Eudlo in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, and having lots of fun with the garden, but can't identify some of our established trees. Can anyone tell us what this one is (3 pics attached). It's about 5 metres tall, and has come into fruit with three lobed pods turning red by the look of it
Thanks in anticipation

Definitely not a loquat tree as loquat fruits haven't got 3 lobed pods...

I must say I am very curious to know what it is also.

Its leaves looks like it belongs to the Sapote family and the fruit closely resembles a Wax Jambu or even a malay apple.

Thanks Justin, Juanita and vanl. I thought originally it was a Small leaf Tamarind (see www.daleysfruit.com.au/Small-Leaf-Tamarind.htm) but now not so sure. Took a fruit off this morning and each of the three lobes has a pea size seed in the middle surrounded by a clear sort of jelly. Ive also got a PINK EUODIA - (Meilcope elleryana) which isn't too common. It's currently got large green round fruit pods with a lovely citrussy smell. Does anyone know if they can be used culinarily.

These are Photos of The Small Leaf Tamarind of which i have lost "HUNDREDS" of fruit thanks to the Flying Fox shaking them off at night. You have a nice fruiting tree of some description. Kath will soon let us know?!
