Re[2]: Nashi Pear
Hmmm, From your description, your tree could also be a Quince (Cydonia).

I have a tree on my property that I have long suspected was some sort of
Asian pear. The discussion on the Nashi pear again piques my interest as
to what it might really be. The fruit is more pear shaped than apple
like, yellow with an occasional pink blush. The big problem is that the
fruit is as hard as a rock and never ripens, whether I pick it or leave it
on the tree. If I pick it, after a month or two, suddenly it turns to
mush. Left on the tree all winter (makes pretty Christmas ornaments
especially when lightly dusted with snow), it eventually shrivels up and
drops off. Nobody around here seems to know what it is and I haven't seen
anything similar. I should mention the tree has been battling
fire blight for at least the ten years I've been here.
