Author Message   Jadeth  Posted on Wednesday, June 25, 2008 - 01:37 pm EST :    I bought it for its red flowers with minimal leaves. As spring and summer came, I now have lots of leaves, no flowers, and these fruits. Any ideas and can I eat it - without getting sick? more pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/27994947@N02/ Jadeth - CA, Zone "?"   Treelover  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Wednesday, June 25, 2008 - 02:09 pm EST :    I can't access that link but that pic looks to me to be a Quince or Cydonia. (Chaenomeles sp.) Those fruits will ripen to yellow and have a strange musky smell. Edible but an aquired taste i think,tho i've never tried one,only smelt them.

I absolutely think you are correct on identifying that plant and just found out you can make jelly out of it. Thank you very much.

They look like apples but never get soft enough to eat but the jelly sure is good!
