Hi,

Apologies if this is a very basic question, but does anyone know what fruit this is, growing in an Oxfordshire garden? Its tree's leaves are pictured at right.

Thank you,

Mark

I havent seen this yet. It looks like fruit from mars!

Very interesting.

It is Chaenomeles japonica, popularly known as Japanese quince or Japonica. It is not the same as true quince, which grows on a tree that looks like a pear tree. But you can use it in the same way if you want to, though there is some disagreement over whether it is tasty or not - maybe it depends upon the variety, there are many varieties of C. japonica, or ripeness. The most popular suggestion seems to be including one chopped up in an apple pie, for example.
