I hope that your tree continues to bear large fruit as the harvest increases in size. My abius are still seedlings so my experience is only with the trees at the arboretum. They bore a pretty amazing crop on small (5-6') trees for the first crop in 2013. There were dozens of small to medium abiu between the two trees. They bore a second crop around fall with only a few fruit and these were much larger. These trees are in full sun & not shaded in by any other trees (so maybe explains why they are bearing on such small trees).
Yours looks and sounds like a nice one if it continues to put out big fruit like that.
