"Knap Hill scarlet" is described as strongly ribbed, and is available
from UK nurserymen.

But it's not the one. ;-(

Has the weather improved at all yet so that the mystery can be cleared up?

I posted saying that the bush has 1cm log thorns on it, 'ordinary' green
leaves and that as they mature, the fruits are becoming more orange in
colour. You might not have seen that post.

I cannot get chaenomeles to bear fruit and would love a fruiting one. At
the moment, I, like it seems others, suspect that your little pumpkin shaped
pome fruit might be in that family and would certainly seek one out if such
proves to be in the case.


Why don't they bear fruit? Ours is just coming into flower, BTW!
