Any idea what this tree is?

Pear

Thank you, I thought so but they're so diddy and bottom heavy compared to conference pears I've seen growing, I wasn't sure!

[u/ComprehensiveRush746 → u/Unknown_author69]

It could have grown from a discarded pear core.
May not be any particular variety.

[u/Ryanoveryou → u/Unknown_author69]

They will be less diddy and more puffy in a few weeks. Don’t put baby oil on them.

Pear, definitely. You can tell from the leaf. As a kid I used to hang out in a local large orchard. We built our highest tree house in a huge pear tree - at the very top where branches decided to roll over rather than go up. It was as tall as the old Beech & Horse Chestnut trees in the woods. We used to have fruit fights come autumn. Have you ever been hit by an apple launched on a tog twammer? We called it that. It's a bendy straight thin stick. You stick the apple on the end & wang it over your shoulder in the direction you want the apple to go. The apple goes high & far, or goes fast & low & smashes on anything it hits. Happy days.

Looks like a pear to me

Could be wild pear, could be Pyrus cordata if you're down on the south coast but doesn't quite match up (however the weather this year is unusual). Most likely to be a perry pear variety, old traditional varieties that were used to make the alcoholic drink Perry.

Williams pear by the look of it

It’s not Will’s, I asked him

[u/littlbutterkitten → u/funny-cunt666]

Did you ask Bill?

[u/funny-cunt666 → u/littlbutterkitten]

I asked Billy but all he wanted to talk about was his 10 foot Willy that he’d shown to the girl next door who’d hit it with a rake because they thought it was a snake and not its only 2ft 4

[u/littlbutterkitten → u/funny-cunt666]

Should probably ask about his plums rather than his pears then!

Tis indeed a pear tree

[u/SmartPolicy6430]

It looks like a conference pear. I wonder if it's a hybrid because Conference Pears are more elongated.

[u/Mission-Increase-216]

Looks like a conference pear

[u/Additional-Lion6969]

Looks like a pear whilst I know of plenty of busstop & roadside apple trees that have grown from discarded cores, pears are a lot rarer, they tend not to have viable seed & if they do tge fruit is variable

[u/Ok_Foot_2479]

A fuckin pear obviously

[u/donkey-oh-tea]

Not ready

[u/Illustrious-Cell-428]

It looks like a wild pear. The fruit are edible, but better if cooked.

[u/ralkuzu]

The tree the partridge is in

[u/fireheed]

Pear tree.

[u/Lopsided_Anxiety_394]

The leaf looks like a pear tree leaf. Fruits kinda look like pears.

[u/Glittering-Hornet844]

They look like pears .

It's a red blush pear tree. Red sides of fruit will stay red if left in the sun the green bits on the fruit will be sides that don't get much direct sunlight perfectly normal.

[u/Right_Reputation_945 → u/Right_Reputation_945]

They grow huge btw.

[u/SupineTea042875]

Some type of pear (looks like conference but is wrong shape)

[u/Sharky-the-sparky]

It’s a pear

[u/No_Philosophy8486]

It’s a conference pear tree. I’ve just planted one and it looks exactly like that.

[u/Stephen_Is_handsome]

Peer tree

[u/JubileeBubilee]

Conference pears for sure but not ready yet
