Medlar

It's Mespilus germanica, a tree in the rose family, the fruit of which is
eaten when overripe and starting to decay (i.e. a bit like the wild
persimmon in the U.S., Diospyros virginiana). I've seen medlars growing
once, in an old, abandoned orchard in the Sierra Nevada mountains of S.
Spain.
