any of several small Eurasian trees whose fruit resembles the crabapple and is edible when over-ripe; fruit of a medlar tree
medlar
(species Mespilus germanica), tree of the rose family (Rosaceae), closely allied to the genus Pyrus, in which it is sometimes included. A native of Europe from The Netherlands southward and of western Asia, it occurs in middle and southern England as a small, much-branched, deciduous, spinous tree. The flowers are white
Definición de la Real Academia:
Árbol de la familia de las Rosáceas, con tronco tortuoso, delgado y de ramas abiertas y algo espinosas, hojas pecioladas, grandes, elípticas, duras, enteras o dentadas en la mitad superior, verdes por el haz y lanuginosas por el envés; flores blancas, axilares y casi sentadas, y por fruto la níspola.

http://www.echonet.org/eln&herbs/eln_catalog/fruittreesQ-S.h...
\"Sapodilla(Naseberry, Nesberry, Nispero) Manilkara zapota, syn. M. achras, M. zapotilla
Native to the Yucatan, the sapodilla tree grows well in poor limestone soils and almost any other well-drained soil. It is drought resistant and can withstand wind and salt spray. It is almost equal to the date palm in its tolerance to high soil salinity. Sapodilla trees are beautiful, slow growing evergreens, capable of reaching a height of 60¢. They are often are used in windbreaks. Huge trees can be seen in Key West, and ECHO has smaller fruiting trees in our fruit tree arboretum. It produces latex, known as chicle, once used to give the chewy consistency in chewing gums. The fruit has brown flaky skin and translucent, gritty flesh. Sapodilla fruit pulp is very sweet with excellent, sometimes spicy flavor, but it seems to ferment easily. Most varieties, including those we carry, are self-fertile. Mature sapodillas can withstand temperatures of 26º F. They bear May through September, but the season peaks in June and July.

: I've had Mexicans identify this tree as a nispero, too, but it's not the same fruit at all. It's one of those local misnomers that crop up among common names. That's why locating the latin name is so important when researching a plant's identity.
