Anyone know what kind of fruit this is?
It is very hard, smells somewhat like a apple, irregular round shape.
Thanks,

| I have lived here for 7 years now and was investigating my yard when I see all these little round things growing everywhere. Even at the tops of trees. It makes a canopy of my whole size yard. I have never pruned or done anything in my yard except my small flower bed. But I guess prior tenents planted a bunch of stuff. From walnuts to honeysuckle. To grapes?? Is that what they are? They didn't grow big at all theye arelike the size of crabapples. They have a seed inside. How do I even begin to take care of the vines if that's what they are? When right now it goes in the tops of trees and near ground |

| The orignial fruit is definately an old fashioned quince. Please google how to use them, as they are not handled like apples but make wonderful jellies. They bring a king's ransom at the farm markets here, if you can even find them. I have quince trees and had a huge crop this year. |

| Making sauce or juice uses lots more quince. Can handle like apples in both cases. First 2013 picking on my semi-dwarf tree was 165 pounds, lots more left yet to ripen. |

| Definitely Quince but quite a small fruit. Tony F. |

| Doesn't seem small to me at around 4.5 inches in diameter. |

| A typical quince fruit is softball-sized like the one above; some varieties average larger yet. |
