Joel, you would need to post a close up picture of a mature fruit to be sure but it looks like Fuerte as far as tree shape and general look of it goes

Kath from daleys said to crunch a leave and if it smells of aniseed it's fuerte.. no aniseed. It's 4m tall I thought they where alot more spreading.. thanks Jason.

Lots and lots of varieties smell aniseed. But Fuerte looks different in the way it grows to everything else, more open and more horizontal branches. I could be wrong but my first impression is that its a Fuerte. A Fuerte has a very distinctive texture on the fruit too so that would confirm it.

Well if you already have one are they both fruiting, with both trees there you can easily see if they are different
