You probably have Ewais. This info is from www.TropicalAcresFarms.com:
"Ewais is from Egypt, originating in the area near the Suez Canal and was named after an Egyptian minister. It is a small, ovate-shaped yellow fruit with a fiberless flesh and exceptionally sweet flavor that surprises those who have never tried it. The fruit are very prone to post-harvest anthracnose, but resistant to bacterial spot. The seed is very thin and small, and polyembryoic.
The tree is non-precocious, and takes a while to start producing. It has a medium vigor, upright growth habit with dense canopy and may struggle to flower some years in the climate of south Florida. When it does flower though it sets a lot of fruit and makes very nice crops.
Ewais is a mid-season cultivar and ripens mostly in July here. We feel this variety might perform well in southern California due to its lack of precocity and growth habit.
Flavor: Egyptian/Indochinese
Country: Egypt"
