Fruit and therefore plant ID, please

I would bet on that, but can't guess the variety (it's not one I grow). If it is, the flesh will be extremely sour, hard, with slight pear or quince grittiness. There are quite a few sub-tropical fruit that are very similar, but I don't know of any that can be grown in the UK. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
