Devon sorb

Heaven knows what it will be like but apparently, the fruits are
edible. *
We had 'Devon Beauty' at the training centre. Very nice small tree,
but don't think about biting into the fruits before they're over-ripe
or have been frosted. When ready, they have a very pleasant, slightly
'figgy' flavour, but eaten too soon and they give a new meaning to the
word astringent! As with almost all of the large fruited Sorbus, they
are best treated like a medlar and used after they've been frosted.
