Fruits for ID : 190611 : AK-3

[Aarti S. Khale]

Found in one of the parks here at Muscat, Oman on the 16th of June, 2011.
A cultivated medium sized tree,laden with fruits.
My friend tried eating one of the ripe fruits out of many fallen
down.She described it as sweet and very sticky,left an odd feeling in
the throat for a long time.
Ripe fruits were about 1 inch.
Any clues?
