Hi all,

I wonder if anyone would be so kind and confirm what this fruit is
please? (We have an idea but don't want to seed anyone's mind sorry
by saying what). ;-)

It was just plucked from a back garden tree in Essex (a friends). ;-)

Cheers, T i m

Probably an ornamental crab apple if it's off a tree.

Or a Chaenomeles quince? An old one, that is. Ours hasn't finished
flowering yet. I did wonder about bletted medlar but the bottom of the
fruit probably isn't right.
