Fruit or nut tree ID please?

Hi everyone,
We just bought a house in the Oakland Hills after living much further out in a desert-type area!
We bought this winter and now our yard is blooming with all kinds of things.
I was wondering if anyone knows what the heck this is? Is it a fruit or nut or just an ornamental seed pod?
I asked my mother from MA who has owned a plant nursery for 30+ years and we're both stumped!
Tree is shaped like a plum family tree and is maybe 20 feet tall. Single trunk.
Thanks in advance. :)
