It's good for any tortoise & most will eat it.
I rub the glochids (little spines) off with a knife & depending on size of tortoise may or may not cut it into smaller pcs.
I usually save some for myself.
Now I noticed you said fruit.
Pretty much the same answer but I would give smaller qtys than I would of the leaf.
