Can you identify this fruit? It's in Utah so not citrus or anything too tropical.   |

I'd have better luck with identification if a photo were visible.  ETA: nevermind, the photo is finally loading. |

How big are they? Doesn't look like loquat to me - they are all over the place down here.

Are they ripe in the photo? What do they look like when you cut into them? I don't know what they are, but I am curious.  |

My guess is pomegranate that isn't ripe yet.

The leaves don't look like quince leaves. Hmmmm.

I don't think they are ripe yet. I didn't pick one but I will next time I'm there. You are right, cutting one open would help a lot. My client is buying the house & there are tons of fruit trees in the yard. The homeowner doesn't speak English & his agent never communicates. I've never seen loquat or quince. Do they taste like pears?
They are about the size of a small apple but more oblong.

My guess is some variety of guava.
ETA: If you cut one open it might be easier to identify.

I wonder if they might be asian pears... although all of the google image examples seem to have them a lot rounder.

The leaves are wrong for pomegranate, fig, asian pear, or quince.

The leaves and fruit look like the guavas I used to have in my yard. They aren't ripe until they drop off the tree.
I never liked them.

Oh, good call. At first I said Apple, but then I thought pomegranate. I think you might be right. |

Pomegranate was what I thought they looked like before I googled anything, but pomegranates are typically a winter fruit, so the timing seems wrong for them.

I'll add a picture in the morning, but it doesn't look like the pomegranate in my neck of the woods. The fruits don't cluster like the ones in the photo. Also, we only get them in summer.

I'm thinking a type of Apple. We had a tree that grew these really small apples that were green when ripe but still really tart. The were slightly oblong until they got larger.

I was so focused on identifying this strange, exotic fruit that it took me a while to realise that the leaves are looking quite like the leaves of the apple tree in my own garden  My vote is that those are Apples. |
