seeking HELP !

please, is anybody able to help identify the fruits growing on this tree now in Thailand (growing prolifically in Hua Hiin - a 3 hour drive south of Bangkok)?  I think it looks likes an avocado?   tho I see no references to avocado growing there?  Mangoes are prolific there, but am not sure?  

Thankyou ????

  • I've just looked up mango trees and the leaves don't look quite right to what you've got in your picture,I also looked up paw paw and that wasn't right either so I'm stumped !,

     Hi ChriIssy, I've just googled this pics of a mango tree, blossom & fruit! what do you think?   ???? could resemble my pics ?   or defo not?  ???? x thanks for yr input. ????

  • I don't think mango because your fruit is growing singly and the mangos in your picture are growing in a bunch.

    I've looked up fruit trees growing in Thailand and can't match up the leaves and fruit to your picture. Sorry,

    A friend who's travelled extensively in China and south east Asia suggests that it may be a pomelo.

    Another friend who's in Australia says it looks to her like a guava.

    mm n, I know guavas, cos I lived in Cape Town for 40 years... So it's not guava.  I think it might be some kind of "bael fruit" - if it isnt the avocado family or mango family.   It's an odd one. Isn't it?  Thankyou for your interest & help - appreciated ????
