If no one recognises the plant from the fruit, please post a photo of the plant itself — Bamboo, Nov 10 '16 at 8:02
Julia, I worry about 'tasting' something you know not! Grins. Not a good idea or habit...just sayin' — stormy, Nov 10 '16 at 18:58
While they could be a mini guava - I'm not very familia with it, they could also be a variety of small/wild feijoa - Feijoa are usually quite sweet inside and very common in New Zealand, and the - As @Bamboo suggested, it would be a good idea to post a photo of the plant, and also your locality. (Fejoas are also known as pineapple guavas) — davidgo, Nov 10 '16 at 23:11

You can eat the flower petals too, they are pretty tasty. – gorav Nov 26 '16 at 20:41
