I'm thinking this may be Chaenomeles speciosa (Flowering Quince) If so, the fruits are normally considered inedible right off of the tree due to their being hard and bitter; however, they may be used to create preserves and jellies. Chaenomeles speciosa (Common Flowering Quince, Flowering Quince) | North Carolina Extension Gardener Plant Toolbox I cannot tell from your photo if this may possibly be true Quince- Cydonia oblonga - which you can read more about on several websites including Quince - Wikipedia Hopefully, other, more knowledgeable people will weigh in on the identity of your tree.
Agree with Chaenomeles. As mentioned, the fruit is edible when cooked; it is nowhere near ripe yet though, wait until it is orangey-brown in October or November.
Would this six-foot height tree be “ornamental quince” ? How can I distinguish it with “flowering quince” ?
