Can you share a picture please? It will help us make sure what we are IDing. (Talked to a lady the other day that was calling Columbine a Snapdragon). That name doesn't ring a bell so it may be something that goes by different names...

I know this plant as an autograph tree because you can "scratch" writing onto the leaves.
I would not offer this plant. The fruit is considered toxic and the sap can cause vomiting. These reports are not on tortoises but I would not take a chance.
@Iochroma may be able to give a second opinion.
