My friend told me that she saw this fruit tree in Kazakhstan and that it is a Quince. So perfectly round and hairy, is it really Quince?
Looks perfect for Cydonia oblonga. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=c...protav8.asp%3Fp%3DCydonia%2520oblonga;750;566 Note the calyx still visible on the young furry fruit.
Thank you. It looks so different from Cydonia oblonga at UBC garden! I was thinking about the tree at UBC, not so hairy and not so perfectly round!?!
Here's the Cydonia oblonga in the UBCBG North Garden today, round and furry. What happens - do they lose the fur as they ripen?
Nadia has convinced me that the Cydonia oblonga at UBCBG are not, in fact, perfectly round. I have no idea if they have elongated since my last visit, or if I just saw them from a single vantage point from which they all looked round.
