    so I have to ID this plant for class and I am having trouble doing so. It is planted in Florida(not sure if its native), has an alternative leaflet arrangement, I believe its pinnately compound, currently has green berries(hard to the touch/squeeze) and is a short tree(about 20 feet). Any ideas would be helpful! thanks

    Dont believe that's a positive ID. The tree in my images has narrower leaves, lacks flowers and has much smaller as well as circular fruits when compared to a "Averrhoa carambola".
