Sapote of sorts

Hi everyone-

I have yet another mystery tree. Not completely mysterious, I'm quite sure
that it is a Sapote of some sort. It is not however the usual Casimiroa
edulis or tomentosa. It differs most markedly in that it has pear-shaped
(rather than round) fruit with one seed (if I'm remembering correctly).
Light green, texture of the flesh somewhere between an avocado and a ripe
banana. It is a beautiful old tree of great character. It seems to me more
stocky than other Sapotes, but this could be age and pruning. Also it has
big bumbs on its trunk, like boils sort of, except pleasant to look at. I
ask because it's in a photograph that is going to be published soon and I
don't want to give out inaccurate information. Looked on the web, but only
found examples of edulis and tomentosa, which don't fit.

Thanks oh wise ones. I think we may have to give out prizes at some point!

Best wishes to all,
Laura
