One of my readers just sent me some pictures of a fruit I've never seen before. Looks like a cross between a feijoa and a loquat, except with cucurbit-style seeds. He says the birds have been eating them from a fencerow. My guess is myrtle family, but I dunno. It's a bit out of my normal growing range.

Anyone know this puppy?

Can you ask for a description of the plant and a picture of the leaves?  Those might help with the ID.

I asked, and sent him this thread. The blooms are what I really want to see but it's a little late in the season, I'm sure.

Just got pics of the leaves. Totally looks like pear. Got to be Rosaceae family.

They look like wild pears. Pyrus malus.

We can green the world through random acts of planting.
