Thank you Geiger for the id suggestion and I am sorry for choosing the wrong name. Thank you very much for the confirmation Machi.

This is definitely a loquat. The leaves of loquats are thick and tough with deep grooves and are wider than those of Vitellaria paradoxa. They are one of my favorite snacks to pick out of my yard :)
