    Can't see much detail in the photos, but it might be a mulberry.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I can tell that it is not a mulberry, but I don't know what it is. My friend in Canada took this photo and asked me. She said the fruits are like lychees. Thanks a lot!

    Varies a bit from plant to plant. Some are rather bland, others quite tasty. Try them and see.
