I agree Tim, very Japanese Quince, but the leaves may be another plant in the way.... ours have lost their leaves now...

Given the weather it might be something that you would not normaly see fruit?

What happens if you chop one in half?

It's a very small bush. No leaves now (mixed in with Aquilegia & S. William). I'm sure it's not a quince.Tried to resize pic. but it's gone. I'll cut one in half & post.

I reckon saddad has it(before the photo disappears again).
After a 'google, it has all the features.
As it's fruited well this year, I'm definitely going to make some jelly again!
The small bush has been in the front garden since before we moved in, & that's 28 yrs..

I made a very refreshing cordial with my Japanese quince by not boiling it to the jelly stage. Diluted with water it is sharp and delicious.

Finally got round to making some jelly.
Only produced two 1lb. jars but the vote from the neighbours is:

WOW!!!
