Your remarks 'How does one compare the fruit and flower sizes in one tree specimen' is most appropriate. I concur with your views. I think one need to check all the taxonomic characters of the species using the flora and key for the genus. This can be done only by the person who has posted the picture and has access to the specimen. You have also taken trouble to make appropriate references on the taxa. Very helpful.
