I'm trying to figure out what kind of tree I have in the back yard.  I can identify all the rest but this one I don't know.  It has these little pink 4 lobed seed pods about the size of a dime on it.  The pods eventually turn greenish and open up.  Out of the four lobes only one has a seed and it's a blood red fleshy seed.  The leaves are sort of pear shaped with a long pointy end.  I know, I know...pics would help but I figured you guys would know as soon as you read about the pink four lobed seed pod, because you guys are that good .

So.....what is it?

Checked it out, it's not one of those.  I'll try and get some pics tomorrow and see if that helps.
