Default Re: what are these ?????

That would be correct if they are selling a plant similar to what's pictured in the first three links above. That is, with broad, glossy, oval, smooth leathery leaves. More leathery than, say, mango leaves. If they are "apple-like" and thinner, it might be Mansanitas. Another ting that distinguishes the Masanitas from the Duhat is that the Mansanitas has thorns, while the Duhat has smooth tender branches, whose bark is reminiscent of birch.

The Red Mombin had narrow, pointed, pinnate leaves, and smaller than the Duhat.
