Premature picked Conadria or 143-36, if I'm going on leaf shape and fruit ripeness.

If leaves were a little lighter, I would say Latrolla.

Dom is onto something, the fruit does look a lot like Latarolla (not to be confused with Latarulla), however, I'd note that while the fruit matches, the leaves would need a lighter tone to them and the fruit would need to be about 25% smaller.  Latarolla has med-to-large fruit (at least mine did).

Thank you for the leaf photo. I have to agree with Dom as well. It does not look like Conadria or Atreano, the leaves of which are similar. I'm also leaning toward Latarolla.

My first response after seeing the images:

1. What was it sold to you as?
2. Did you get from a nursery or private?
3. In person or online?

I say negative on latarolla.  Mine never have any "handle" on the very top.  Also the eye on this is a little more open.
