A good friend of mine moved to Hawaii a few years ago and ate a fruit and planted the seed. The seed sprouted but she doesn’t know what fruit it came from. Does anyone know what kind of fruit tree this is. Please see attached pictures of the seedling and the seed. Thanks in advance!

Abiu?

looks like abiu to me. I recognize the hairy stem.

Thanks Michael!
The seeds and the leaves fit the description from my untrained eyes.

Any recommendations of how to care for the seedlings? I have 3 that are growing on my window here in Arizona.

They will get yellow soon i think and need a lot of fertilizer (potassium)...my abiu stopped growing but urea made it grow again.
