Looks like a carob tree, Ceratonia siliqua.

I know it's far away but what's the scale on those fruits/nuts? The look like they're 2 inches across about from the picture. Could you take a closeup of the leaves?

Yes, they are far away! I'm guessing they're 1-1/2" to 2" across. Their coloration really looks like apricots, but they have a very distinct 3-part shape. I can't recall ever seeing anything like this, either in real life or online.

Here are some additional photos, and I'll take some better ones in the morning.

A Google search yielded some very similar looking fruit and trees: Cupaniopsis anacardioides. I'm not convinced, though!

The leaves are not Apricot leaves and Apricots don't grow in bunches. Carob is in the pea and bean family and its fruit are large brown pods.

Could it be a type of Hickory or a Tung oil tree

It does look suspiciously similar to your Cupaniopsis.

Yeah, the leaves are similar to carob, but the fruit is definitely cupaniopsis.

I think we can settle on Cupaniopsis anacardioides, but I do have to wonder where it came from! I also wonder how old it is, and why it's just now fruiting. But I can't say with 100% certainty that it's never fruited before because, frankly, it's very likely that no one ever looked up and noticed it.

If you're on the front porch, like going in or out the front door, the tree is just a few feet away, and it's right up against the house. So you see its bottom 10 feet or so. And if you're on the driveway, backing out, you're focused on its very narrow width, and making sure you're not going to go off of it. If you're coming up the driveway, you're focused on the PEACOCKS who are usually blocking it. So I can really see how, literally, no one ever noticed the fruit, since it's so far up in that tree.

A.K.A. carrotwood - they are horrible 'weed' trees here.
