Me thinks that is a quince.

[Palustris]

Definitely a quince. When ripe add grated bits to any apple recipe to increase the flavour of the apples.

 :D Many thanks you two... now we know. Don`t know where it came from though!!!

Ah, EJ and Eric, but is it a Cydonia oblonga Quince, or is it a Chaenomeles Quince? To me the fruits look more spherical than pear-shaped.  If the bush has thorns, and depending on the colour of the flowers being correct, I would be more inclined to go for Chaenomeles Japonica or Speciosa

[SueT]

It looks the same as my Japonica fruits

[Mrs Ava]

Oh and I was feeling so clever!  Back to the dunce cap for me.

[SueT]

It wouldn`t suit you EJ  ;D
