My mother has four trees on her property...three came up from seeds, from a wild tree in her woods, ONE, she said she planted from the seeds of an Asian pear my brother brought her ( and she is that good that she would grow an entire tree from a seed lol)

I am trying to help her id them. I have pictures of pears from both trees, and pictures of the foliage and leaves from what she believes is her asian pear. I brought home a bag of her 'asian' pears, hoping to pickle them, so I'm hoping this is correct.

Here are pictures of what is her asian pear..I just want to 'make sure', as the fruits are not much larger than her wild trees. This is the foliage





the fruit from the same trees




This is one of her wild trees, that came up from seed from a tree growing in her woods...the fruits are just a little smaller than the one she said she grew from a seed.

Maybe Pyrus calleriana? Ornamental pear? They do have small fruits, I don't know if they are edible or not.
