According to a couple of Google image searches this is a Lanzones (Lansium Domesticum) tree – a type of mahogany tree. Lanzones fruits are round like large grapes, but with a tough skin and juicy segments inside. It appeared on our balcony, out of nowhere a few years ago, then killed off the bamboo that use to grow in the same pot, and is now huge. Apparently fruit eating birds (like a Bulbul) probably ate the fruit from a nearby tree or garbage bin, then perched on our railing and crapped out the seeds into the pot! I pruned it a few days after this sketch to make it a bit more manageable (lopping the crown completely off)…by some miracle I didn’t kill it, and it is now starting to grow new shoots below where I cut off the trunk.
