Not a pear as the leaves are too tough and waxy. 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.

Looks like crabapple, if so, fruit is bitter.

Ignore this fool

Ah, the wit and wisdom of a doper.

And that is as good as the advice gets from this maudlin, foul mouth of
a loser.

So, what's the answer? Smartass!

Don't know. If I had to guess, I'd say a camellia. You'll notice that
the leaves are glossy with a smooth edge. Crab apples have a serrated
edge to their leaves. In my experience, you need to have leaf, flower,
and fruit (seed) to make an identification.

Maudlin, foul-mouthed, people with a compulsion to cast someone else as
more incompetent than themselves are easier to identify ;o)

Do you have a picture of the flowers? The fruit looks somewhat
like a pygmy pawpaw (Asimina pygmea), and you are in the right
area for pygmy pawpaws, but the leaves aren't right. The pawpaw
flowers however, are distinctive.

You certainly are easy to identify as an incompetent, doper.

Offhand, looks like a quince to me, Cydonia oblonga. One of the better
local nurseries could ID it for you with little trouble, most likely -- I
never like doing ids completely from photos. If it is quince, it has
edible fruit, though they need to be cooked first.

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.

Serrate is fine but I think "erose" is better.

Leaf is wrong, waxy smooth on the subject, dull on the Camellia.

Camellia japonica leaves are extremely shiny. Always. Exactly like these.

Leaves are similar to those of the Avocado (pear). Could the fruit be a
discoloured Avocado?
