I took this picture in Hollywood, Florida:
The fruit reminds me of an Ackee tree, but I’m pretty sure it’s not that. I’ve seen this plant multiple times down south, but have no idea what it is.
Any guesses?
UPDATE: It’s a Carrotwood, Cupaniopsis anacardioides. Thank you, everyone.
You can have greener thumbs by this weekend!

Maybe a Holywood aka Lignum Vitae (Guaiacum sanctum)???
No… unfortunately, I don't think it is. Looks similar, though.
I'm pretty sure it's a loquat.
I'm sure it's not a loquat, though it's probably hard to tell from the picture I took. See the little glimpse of red? That's a bursting seed pod.
Did you ever find out what this is?
Yes – "Carrot wood"
Cupaniopsis anacardioides
Carrot woods grow like weeds!
