Hello all,
Yet one more plant to identify please! Here is the leaf and the fruit: https://plus.google.com/collection/I6Q-jB My friend from France says it may be what he termed a "Japanese apple". But search for "pomme japonaise" did not reveal any fruits similar to the one I posted... Al (I think I am in Sunset zone 15.) |

With a common name of Japanese apple, it is going to be edible. The persimmon answer makes more sense. Don. www.donwiss.com (e-mail link at home page bottom). |

With a common name of Japanese apple, it is going to be edible. The persimmon answer makes more sense. No way was Al's photo of a medlar, nor a persimmon. Not only are medlars exceedingly uncommon in California, their fruit never gets that red and the blossom ends have much more of a "dog's arse" appearance. I'll admit that pomegranates typically have a much more protrusive blossom end than Al's photo, but the color, shape and leaf appearance are consistent with a slightly beat up pomegranate. Also, pomegranates are colloquially known as "Chinese apples" and the French person may have been close, but no cigar. Now, if Al would have the courtesy to reply with a photo or description of the fruit interior, we would likely obtain a definitive answer. |

It is the size of a large jujube only. Also,its end is all closed, no vestige of a flower visible. Al |

They can grow where you live - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psidium_cattleyanum Did you eat it? |
