A guy a few blocks from us has this tree. He used to know the name but forgot. I have searched and searched and can't find it. The skin is tough, the pulp tastes like punch, huge seed in the center:
Can some identify this tropical fruit tree?

IGNORE the first photo. I uploaded the wrong one.
Looks like Spondias, likely Spondias purpurea:

I think you are on to something. I have a Spondias dulcis and the fruit looks very similar.
That's what it is. Thank you! I hope it roots, his tree is huge and got a nice size cutting.
Beautiful tree.
