Can anyone help me identify a fruit tree growing in my yard?

Looks kind of like a kumquat, but skin is smooth (not like that of an orange), and the "pit" or "seed" almost takes up the entire inside, very little flesh for eating and the seed's skin is smooth, brown, shiny...kind of like what a buckeye looks like. I have been told it is type of Japanese plum, but from my research, it's too small. Pictures of cross cuts of a kumquat also doesn't fit. Anyone in florida with this type of tree....if you know what it is, please help.

please check www.thefruitbook.com





go to album and look the picture. If it has one seed may be kind of plum. Orange and small means i can think of loquat


but it has multiple seeds. or may be longan (FLESH LOOK LIKE JELLY SIMILAR TO LITCHI AND GROW IN CLUSTERS)


Still worth to check www.thefruitbook.com and check for album.
Reply:It sounds like it might be a kalimondon tree. A distant relative of the kumquat. take a sample to the county extension agent. He'll be able to tell you for sure.
Reply:I've done some looking around and can't find what you're describing, but maybe one of the links on this site might be it?
