This is  Ziziphus mauritiana(Indian jujube) or Ziziphus zizyphus(Chinese jujube).most probably the first one,if it is not cold hardy(Second one is cold hardy)

I'm eating an Indian jujube here as i write this. Here in Myanmar they call them plums, which had me confused when i saw plum-tamarind candies being sold, but never saw any plum trees around. I can see why they call it plum because it has a bit of plum like taste, pretty darned good really. Only texture is more crunchy, not soft like a plum.
Here in central Myanmar the markets are very colorful and fun to go to, but not a whole lot of fruit diversity. Tons of sea food and veggies, but not much in way of fruits. Most common fruits are bananas, papayas, avocado, citrus: tangerines and lemons, dwarf ambarella, guava, tamarind, grapes, strawberries, dragon fruit. All of these are locally grown where i'm at. No imported fruits here even from other parts of the country. Zero mangos around as it's not the season. For mangos you have to come when it's sweltering hot and rains non stop every day (monsoon). At least at the Fairchild mango festival there is no pounding rain!  ;)
