The problem I need to find out what it is and where to get some.
LOL
These trees are on the way to my school and I have noticed them for the last 7 years. They are always loaded with fruit and start dropping early when the tree still has leaves and hold the fruit into the winter.
My guess they are some type of wild pear. The leaves look like a pear, the bark on the trees look like a pear and the fruit seems to have the tecture and look of a minature pear.
The pictures below were taken this morning. You can see all the fruit still in the trees and the ground was covered.
If I can find a source, I sure will plant some of these trees.
Anyone know what type of tree this is? It is growing in Haralson Co. GA.
Wild Pear's. I had a few of them on my lease. When they started dropping that was my presfered location to hunt. I would also shake the branches and get a load of them on the ground. Mid to late season drop
From what I can see in the photo, it looks lile a Japanese plum tree. I'm from S.C. and we had alot of them around. The closer you get to Hilton Head Island the more of them you see. This is just my opinion, please let us know when you find out for sure.
I would contact local nurserymen and ask them what it is. If they can't look at it in person, take them some photos, and a leaf, a new branch tip, some bark, and a fruit, if you can.
I was raised in a nursery family and worked in nurseries many years. I don't know what that tree is, but different regions have different plantings, and there are many, many different trees.
Most local nurserymen could either tell you or else find out quick. So could many extension agents.
oops!!!
