I have no idea but looks beautiful!
It could be cumquats, can only make them into a sweet or jam
They are as your describing.
They are probably loquats. Can be eaten skin and all. I'm not a fan. Do you have an agricultural center in your area? Most have master gardners that can help you identify plants and trees.
Be careful with loquats, seeds can be poisonous, but skin and meat is delicious. We eat Komquats whole wonderful treats for kids
It appears to be Kumquat
Maybe this will help you to identify them? http://www.chron.com/life/gardening/article/What-s-the-difference-Loquat-and-kumquat-1595545.php#photo-1158229
I've had good luck with this app for both smart phones and iPhones: http://www.gardenanswers.com/
a cream cream cheese en aasp Actually it is a Calamondin, makes a great appetizer when cooked up as a jam then combined with Hot mustard and horseradish and served over
They make a great Marmelade...using the whole fruit, the skin is tart and full of flavour. Just remove the seeds and grind up in your blender, add sugar. It is a real favourite in the Florida Keys.
Looks exactly like honeysuckle up here in Ohio. Probably would grow almost anywhere. Quite an annoyance, but I would think that the berries are too translucent to look like oranges, ours are more vermillion red up here, but I understand that they come in a variety of colors also. ...Actually, I saw some last year, and noticed that there were a couple of bushes, that had almost black ones.
Do they look a lot like this? (see attached file).
These pictures are definately NOT honeysuckle.

this is the link i found. I have one of these trees in Northeast..but my husband can't remember the name..they have HUGE Thorns, the fruit is sour, i make poke whole cloves in the fruit when ripe and use in closets and the like..also with ribbons to hang on Christmas tree. I have seen them in Florida and the people make marmalade from them. I thought to sour to try to do anything but make mypotpourri balls out of them. They do last for years and still smell wonderful, tho not as strong. I let the fruit with cloves dry, it hardens with the cloves in and turns brown.
Here are pics of Kumquat, Loquat and Calamondin. Compare the fruit and the leaves. Hope this helps. If not, it is a good idea to check with your County Extension office; they will know for sure.
Mock orange
how about mock orange?
The leaves are too big for the honeysuckle we have in Atlanta.
