Mystery Fruit!

I'm intrigued....it looks a bit like an apricot....but as its bitter tasting it can't be..if it has a very hard outer coat it could be a quince?....look forward to hearing what the experts have to say.:))

I agree Amblealice I think it's a quince.

yes i think it is quince too. are the plants in flower in the spring?

It's really quite sad how exciting it is finding out what it is! I think you must be right as all the asnswers here and on my other photos say quince! Yes the outer skin is very hard Amblealice but I'm not sure about flowering Seaburngirl as we only moved in this year and I've only recently noticed it tucked away in the corner. Thank you so much for you input though guys! I'm off to phone my mum and tell her I think you've solved it hehe! Elle :)

It does look like an apricot doesn't it ?
Also looks like a passionfruit except they're not hard !

Looks a bit like some of my sweet peppers.!

:-)))

Defintely Quince from Chaenomeles japonica rather than Cydonia. Very good as a natural air freshener and the original fruit used to make Marmalade.

my mum used to use hers to make a jelly to go with pork or goose. yum-yum. from the other photo it def looks the Chaenomeles japonica.

apricots have a hard stone like a peach.
