The bark
The bark up close
The leafs
A leaf up close
The tree isn't really flowering right now but here's one of the buds
If anyone knows anything, I'd love to know. Thank you in advance for your time.
Some better photos of the leaves would help an app figure it out better
Try a shot up into the leaves with just leaves and sky in frame
Try another with a clear example of the leaf organization (similar to yours with the grass background) but with a different colour background
I'll have to wait until next week when I'm back at the site but sure I'll take better pictures and post them here
If you know a bit about leaf anatomy you could use a tree identification guide like this site:

My guess would be pear like the others say.
Automatic identification via PlantNet summary

| Brazil Plum | Spondias tuberosa | 3.82 % |
Beep, boop
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
Out of these I'd say pear is most likely, possibly a crab apple or plum also so not narrowing it down much! It's 100% not an Acer at least!
That's the fruit developing post-flowering, not a budding flower btw, so go back to see how it develops and you should get a pretty good id soon. I don't think plum fruits would look like that and crab apples aren't typically so long stalked and more often in bunches, but I wouldn't expect any plum/pear/apple to be so long stalked eitger, so perhaps a variety or species I'm not familiar with! Don't know anything about Brazilian plum or mountain date though.
The only reason I'm not sure if you're right is because I've been taking care of this site for years and never saw any fully developed fruits but this year I'll keep an eye out for them when they fully develop because these got planted decades ago and nobody in the DOT knows what species they are.
Ty for your time.
more like bot-o-matically am I right
looks like pear, but not sure. not a botanist
