Default Berry identification: murallas - red blueberries?!?

The message k
from Tim Tyler contains these words:

Following up to Tim Tyler :

I bought some berries here in Bristol - with
"murallas" written on the box.

They look like red and yellow blueberries -
but inside the seeds are like little rocks -
more like a guava than a blueberry.

Could it be a sort of medlar? (Mespilus germanica)


Interesting. I looked at their relatives.
Not an exact match - but perhaps a lead.


I bought them at Bristol's Sweet Mart.


They couldn't tell me much about them -
except that their availability was not
very good.


Good old Abdul!!! Must drop by there soon and tell him,
plus get some - if I can!!!
