DaisyI said:New (and probably unpopular) thought. Its a pear. Immature quince fruits have down on their skin and a different calyx. Cut one in half vertically (top to bottom) and take a photo.


Glad we are all in agreement.
In first pic I zoomed right in and the calyx on the end and furry skin was visible...see 1st trimmed image below.
Another clue is Cydonia has one flower/one fruit on the end of the twig...while Pryrus/pears do not do this.
Cydonia fruits are very scented and often bought to take into homes just for the smell.
Have added a couple more pics to show the flowers etc.
