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.
