A New Tree Wuzzit

A New Tree Wuzzit - Our MyLotter Friend, @ARM likes "Wuzzits." a whole lot. I do not really understand that, but it is what it is. So here is a new Wuzzit - a tree for which I seek a name. This one grows alongside the trail on which I like to roll on the little electric mobility scooter. I do not have a clue as to what to call the tree, nor do I know if its small fruits are edible (Fruits - 1-inch little globes that are yellow-orange in color when on the tree and quite red and purple-red after falling to the ground below.) People hike and run along the cement sidewalk of the trail - and the scooter scoots there - and both squash the fallen fruit onto the cement. Along come the ants and the flies to eat the pulp of the round, squashed fruits. That leaves the actual very flat seeds, uneaten. on the ground. Those seeds are of the size and of the appearance of "pumpkin seeds" - but no critter seems to come along to eat them. At first I thought that the tree might be one of those decorative "tiny citrus" trees, but the fruit skins appear to be quite thin and un-citrus like. The foliage, though, does remind me of citrus tree foliage. I have not tried to experience foliage odor yet, so I cannot describe what it might be. This tree is probably 20 to 30 feet tall, and as you can see, its branches seem to droop down a whole lot. Wuzzit? What kind of tree do we have here?
