That looks quite similar, the largest fruit is about 1 inch long.  I didn't pay much attention to 
pits, but I didn't feel any when I removed the bizarre fruits.

Much of the fruit, even on this tree/bush is normal.  I just hope it doesn't spread and kill the 
whole bush.
It doesn't look like there is any witches broom type damage going on at this 
point.
