Silversurfer said:Looks like Cydonia oblonga.

To quote wiki....The quince Cydonia oblonga is the sole member of the genus Cydonia in the family Rosaceae (which also contains apples and pears, among other fruits). It is a tree fruit that bears a deciduous pome fruit, similar in appearance to a pear, and is bright golden-yellow when mature.



Very different plant from Chaenomeles sp...common name Japanese quince.

Cydonia oblonga is the culinary quince, and the Chaenomeles sp. (Japanese quince) are the ornamental ones. My Chaenomeles (sp?) has different leaves and bright pink flowers, but isn't worth eating.
