The foliage is not right for apple or pear, and does not look right for
quince--far too glossy. Are the leaves alternate (one per node) or opposite (two per node)? In South Carolina, you might have any of a number of subtropical ornamentals, including Camellia, which makes an apple-like fruit. M. Reed Zarlot531 wrote: Hello...

That's a cross between the Chinese sand pear and Bartlett that is course grained and not very good eating fresh. They are excellent canned. Can while still firm because they never get really soft like a bartlett. It'll be another couple of months before they are ripe enough to can. We have eaten them for years.

Even the blurred photo resembles a camellia bush. The fruit is not likely edible, but it is also not likely toxic. Usually the flowers fall off without forming any fruit. If you allow the fruit to mature, the ripened seeds can be planted and might produce a new variety of camellia. Young leaves of the closely related C. sinensis are the primary ingredient of commercial tea. -- David E.

Not likely a camellia or you'd've noticed big flowers and the occasional fruit would look more like an apple. Tempting to suggest the somewhat exotic Java Apple (Szyzygium samarangense) or some other species of Szyzygium. If that's it, the fruit are edible, taste like pear, but is much less dense than a pear when ripe, more like melon in texture. -paghat the ratgirl -- visit my temperate gardening website: http://www.paghat.com visit my film reviews website: http://www.weirdwildrealm.com |

Pot, kettle and all that, old friend. The cherry toms and peppers are coming on strong as well as the beans, zukes and just found a Suyo Long cuke that will go in two days. The amaranth, Love-Lies-Bleeding, is absolutely gorgeous and a very large plant, about five feet tall and a spread of the same. The longest seed head, which are about thumb sized in diameter and a very nice reddish-maroon color, is over thirty inches long. THe plant has dozens of heads/strands and more forming all the time. The Golden Giant amaranth is over six feet tall with large golden-yellow upright heads of grain. Had the first picking of Empress green beans today......excellant. Picked a few Rattlesnake ploe beans to sample the the flavor is different than the Empress and delightful. Your Vining 'tunias giving you some aroma yet? Chug a bottle of TwoBuckChuck and chill, Billy. Agrafes républicaines de Don de vis Charlie Me being on the north side of a hill, your cornucopia has me drooling. Must be all the lightening that you've been having. The Armenian cucumber is moving around like a cobra in a corner but hasn't set fruit yet. The green beans are in flower as well. All of my tomatoes that are in the ground have at least green tomatoes on them (that includes the Brandywine and the Striped German). The glazing that we've gotten the last few days from the Sun have ripened some hybrid cherry tomatoes (Sungold and Sweet Millions) but none of the Yellow Pear have ripened yet. "Lovey" has been off on family business the last two days so I serve our first garden meal tonight. Zukes and crooknecks with garlic, olive oil, and herbs will accompany a lettuce and tomato garden salad (probably throw in some dandelion too, the sweating has dropped my potassium levels). That will accompany a gorgonzola turkey schnitzel and potato (CSA) pancakes. The trailing petunias are about the size of a cup saucer but they seem to have responded to being in potting soil as opposed to the germination soil. The trombonciniis only 8" high and the bitter melon 6" - 18" high but both are growing well now. From now on, once germinated, my plants are going into potting soil as soon as they are hardened off. The cabbage seems to be a complete bust so I'm switching it with the salad which seems to do OK where the cabbage is now. The corn, sweet and dent, is about 3' - 4' tall. Identified another one of my herbs yesterday. No doubt about it, it's stinging nettle (ouch):-(. Now I find that she is dioecious and I gotta track her down a boyfriend:o( The echinacea has just flowered as has the thyme but the calendulas have been putting out flowers for the last two months. This is beginning to sound like a parts list, so I'll let it go here. Oh, I gave you that advice after responding to one of his posts which I don't read anymore. He doesn't bring out the best in me. But it is weird. He claims to have a Masters degree but there is no sign of it on his web site. "If" he had one, advertising it would be money in the bank. I'd be surprised if he had an A.A. degree.

What kind of tree is this (link)? Is this fruit edible?
Looks like a ficus/fig of some type.

This thread may have gone on long enough, but I do agree with David and Monique -- almost certainly Camellia, and most likely C. japonica (the leaves look too broad to be C. sasanqua to me). And in Columbia SC, the climate is right. Leaf is wrong, waxy smooth on the subject, dull on the Camellia. My camellias -- both C. japonica and C. sasanqua -- have dark green leaves that are quite shiny on top. When I spray, I must add liquid soap to the mix. Otherwise, the spray beads up as if the leaves were coated in wax. I see the same effect when the sprinklers run. Further, , my camellia leaves appear on the stems alternately and are serrated as in the photos. Finally, the leaf peteols (stems) and the woody branches on my camellias look just like those in the photo for P1011086.jpg. Just this week, I picked a "fruit" from one of my C. sasanqua that looks just like the photo. -- David E.
