I think you're right. Too bad the OP hasn't come back to show what the fruit look like when ripe. I'll rep him to see if he will come back.
Sorry to keep you interested folks in suspense! During the heat of summer I did not go out to the backyard for a month, and when I got out there to check on the fruits, it has all dropped!!!
I suspect it's an Almond tree from the photo earlier below.
Here's a YouTube video on Almond, notice the similar leaves and fruits.
It still looks exactly like apricot but I think with that green sweet flesh it's some kind of hybrid. It looks like it might even be one of the hybrid varieties of Prunus mume also known as Japanese apricot or Japanese plum. Prunus mume looks like apricot in size and shape and has fuzzy skin but it has green or greenish-yellow to pale yellow skin and flesh when it's ripe and the pits are usually shaped more like rounded smooth cherry pits than either rough apricot or plum pits. It is grown in Asia especially for its ornamental flowers but is also used for making fruit relishes or for salting and pickling the fruits or for making very strong, high alcohol content specialty wines, liqueurs and cooking sauces.
After all this time has passed (it's been over 17 months since you first posted about it) I think you should quit wasting time messing around with online photos, guessing games and debates that nobody can agree on. You need to take a sample of it in to be personally, physically examined and identified by an experienced professional who knows exactly what to look for and knows what they're talking about.
Snip off the end of a branch that has several leaves and three or four fruits on it that are not very hard, rather soft-ripened at least enough to have well developed and hardened pits inside them. The branch sample should be a big enough branch to enable the examiner to see what the various shades of colours of the rings of the wood are under the bark. Also show them a photo of the entire tree as it stands from top to bottom and tell them the height of it.
Good luck, I hope you can get it properly identified by hands-on professionals and can let us know what it is.

I sent the above pictures to a knowledgeable gardening friend, she's suggested this is a variety of peach called "green peach". Generally they're eaten pickled but since they're sweet, I can eat them raw.

So, you have no clue. Just throwing out wild a$$ guesses.
