I wonder if any body can identify this fruit
they have been growing 3 or 4 years at the bottom of
the garden. It is 3m tall (10ft) now....
It is a fruit, apple shaped though 1 to 2 cm, 1/2-1 inch
in size. Usually green and,when ripe,yellow and same
size
It has 'spikes' 5cm (2 inches) long as well!

The pictures are too small for me to have any confidence in an
identification. However you could try looking into Chaenomeles (Japanese
Quince).
