The other way I've heard this called is "chapote prieto" by Spanish-speaking people
Edit: the fruits are unripe now, they will ripen to a black/purple color

The fruits started forming in late winter/early spring and will finish up in late July to as late as October! The trees themselves (if they are female/make female flowers) produce fruit after reaching a maturity of about 6 or 7 years.
