Name of this Fruit?

[Ducklet Cat]

Hello,

I wonder, what is the name of this fruit in English:

In Arabic it's called "AkaDunia", which comes from a Turkish phrase which means "New World or Life".


Thanks.

They look like kumquats to me.

Could be... or maybe medlars or quinces...:-? I'm out of my depth here!

Re 'New World' - I don't imagine thiis means they necessarily come from the New World (America). Peaches are, in Latin, 'Persian Apples' (whence Pg pêssego, Fr pêche, Italian pesca, but not Sp, which has its own home-grown version - melocotón). Maybe they did come from Persia when they first arrived in Rome, but I'm sure I've never eaten an Iraqi one.

Do they have four long, shiny seeds in the centre of the fruit?

However, the similarity is also clear in Catalan: préssec ). Maybe they did come from Persia when they first arrived in Rome, but I'm sure I've never eaten an Iraqi one.

The bottom part of the fruit makes me think they are loquats. The leaves and color of the fruit are just the same as those in China, although loquats here are usually rounder.I used to have a loquat tree in the yard,so I'm pretty sure.

Yes! This is the one.
What is its name?

The consensus of opinion seems to be that they are loquats. They are grown in some gardens the south of France where they are called something else, unfortunately I can't remember what. (They are delicious!)
