If indeed it is a limb sport, it is interesting that the limb produced a variegated fruit, but has not produced even a single variegated leaf. I would tag that branch with a label, so I could watch it again next year to see if the variegation is stable. - Millet

Its hard to tell from the picture, but is that an adjacent fruit on the same branch tip that is not variegated?

it is the only variegated fruit on the tree. There is also no single variegated leaf growing on the tree.
