Trying to ID a mysterious fruit

writes "Sacha" wrote in message .uk... On 2/12/07 15:33, in article , "bof" Coming in rather late - I wonder if it is a variety of Loquat, Eriobotrya japonica. I know the typical fruit is not grooved, hence the suggestion that it's a variety. The stucture is similar. Graham I looked into that as a possibility when the image was first shown. Eriobotrya has persistent sepals at the apex of the fruit, and the fruits are smaller (1/2" in diameter). (The last applies to the wild type; it may be that there are cultivars with larger fruits.) -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
