katmom	Posted - May 07 2019 : 6:01:39 PM Anyone know what these are? They look like little apples... and yet the leaves looked like plum leaves... they are only about 1 1/2" in size... they are hard as a rock and there is only 1 seed inside and it sort of looks like a cherry seed. Sort of bitter in taste. >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com

katmom	Posted - Jun 09 2019 : 8:49:27 PM Nicole,, we will probably do some pruning on it in the Fall... My 2 cherry trees were loaded with blossoms and then cherries,, but then suddenly a portion of the cherries fell off.. We didn't do anything suddenly.. same water pattern.. etc.. oh well... there is always next year.. lol! >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
texdane	Posted - Jun 06 2019 : 4:55:24 PM Looks like your having a good year for blossoms too. We had lots of fruit forming this year. Unfortunately, the bush was overgrown so it had to be trimmed. Not the best time to do it, but we want to use it ornamentally.

katmom	Posted - May 25 2019 : 9:53:09 PM I must say, this tree is both lovely to look at and has a lovely sweet scent... the bees and bumbles are so in mass,,, that just standing under the tree I hear them busy at work... what pretty blossoms.. Thanx girls for identifying it for me, a Flowering Quince... not sure how old it is, but the house is 35 years old. >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
katmom	Posted - May 15 2019 : 7:44:52 PM Winnie, I probably won't be to ambushes to make marmalade with them,, I will leave the tree for the birds... It does make for a lovely shade tree, great for the grandkiddos to play under... BTW,,, welcome back Winnie....hope you had a great get-a-way... >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
Red Tractor Girl	Posted - May 15 2019 : 11:06:55 AM I am intrigued, Grace!! While I can't help, let us know if you eat them and what you think. They do look very similar to apples for sure! Winnie #3109 Red Tractor Girl Farm Sister of the Year 2014-2015 FGOTM- October 2018
katmom	Posted - May 14 2019 : 12:52:32 PM Thank you all for your input.. A Quince... hmmm, well I guess it will be my 'place a blanket under it, and read' tree... Nicole, yes,, it is beautiful when in bloom,,, and for a small tree is has a nice shape, perfect for a picnic spot for my grand kiddos... I probably will never make jam with the fruit... but that's ok,,, Thanx again everyone for your help identifying it... >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
texdane	Posted - May 09 2019 : 06:52:51 AM Farmgirls are correct. Quince. Bitter and not edible unless cooked well - like in a jam. They are more used as ornamental but in the apple family. Treat as an apple tree for care. Gets beautiful white blooms each spring. I have a bush form.

katmom	Posted - May 09 2019 : 06:23:32 AM Krista, it was here when we bought the property.. I will google Quince to learn if that is what this tree is. Thanks for giving me some direction. >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
lovinRchickens	Posted - May 08 2019 : 1:18:12 PM Looks like a quince to me also. Farmgirl #5111 Farmgirl of the month October 2014 & January 2019 Blessings ~Kelly~
HollerGirl56	Posted - May 08 2019 : 1:02:00 PM I am pretty sure this is a quince tree. My great aunt had one on her farm and I would always try to eat them when I was a little girl. She made jelly out of them and it was good. Old Age Ain't No Place For Sissies!------Bette Davis
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - May 08 2019 : 11:33:11 AM I'm curious to see what it is. Would love an update once you know. Is this one of your new trees? Krista
katmom	Posted - May 08 2019 : 08:32:42 AM Thanx Dawn,, I have had several people look at it,, so far it's still a "Mystery Tree"... lol! >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom and Glamping Diva! www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
ddmashayekhi	Posted - May 07 2019 : 6:12:35 PM Quince? Hopefully someone on the forum will know for sure. Dawn in IL When it rains look for rainbows, when it's dark look for stars.
