It is in the pear family.

It has a gritty texture of the pear, is more round. To make it is "puckery"
Just don't know what. did you all know that Pears belong to the Rose family?? I love learning, so is an apple..

Are they edible Charleen? A photo of the tree and it's flowers and leaves might help, but I found one on wiki which has fruits like that.. Iberian pear, Pyrus bourgaeana

There's another, Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana)

It sounds more likey as stated on wiki:

In much of North America, cultivars of Callery pear are so widely planted as ornamental trees that they have become a ubiquity in many urban and suburban communities.
