Any ideas what this fruit is? looks like a tiny pear
 
It kind of looks like a tiny ugly apple or tiny pear. The tree (I should have gotten a picture of the tree/leaves) reminds me a bit of a crepe myrtle (no central trunk, fairly small, etc...). The folks that have this in their yard also have some other fruit trees including one that produces amazing pomelos. They trimmed a branch and put the fruits from the branch on their wall (something they did with excess pomelos when they were ripe). I'm kind of thinking that is their way of offering them to passers-by. As you can imagine, I'm a little dubious about eating strange fruit with no idea of what it really is.

Anjou pear?

Bill Douglas 07-15-2019 02:18 PM

Figs?

It would be great if they are figs.

Baz 07-15-2019 02:20 PM

I agree with Bill....figs. Do you have a pic of the tree they came from?

I'll get one later when we take the dogs out.

I don't think it's a fig. It seems to have a central hard stone.

Its not a fig. Have 2 fig trees in the back yard, and the time is now for harvesting.

My best guess is a green jujube.

BeyGon 07-15-2019 03:31 PM

Guava? I had a couple trees that produced fruit like that.

Shaun @ Tru6 07-15-2019 05:52 PM

quince have seeds

Well have someone you know take a bite and if they die then you will know that you shouldn't be eating them.

rusnak 07-15-2019 07:26 PM

Maybe an unripe loquat. That tree looks like it may have cross pollinated with something else.

Sorry, that I didn't come back to this thread for a while, but Shaun is absolutely right.

Quote:

Jujube, also known as Chinese red date (枣), is an attractive "drupe" fruit of Chinese origin. "Zao" as the fruit recognized in the mainland China, it grows in natural wild and cultivated orchards in Korea, Japan, and many Middle Eastern regions. Dry jujube has similar taste and nutrition profile as that of dates; packed with energy, minerals, and essential vitamins.
This makes sense (since it's a Chinese fruit) and the other fruit in their yard is also a fruit of primarily Chinese origin.
