It’s an Asian Pear. There are lots of different ones, and size can vary. Some are wild and some are named varieties. That one is very similar in appearance to Gallaway that WG sells.

I have 6 different varieties of Asian pears and that is definitely one. They all look similar but if it gets very large it’s probably Olympic

Asain Pear.

Three possibilities as I can see by the lintels (dots). Best to get a picture of it when ripe, if it isn't yet, and compare it to pictures on the web.

1. Yoinashi - New variety.

Season: Mid
Size: Large to medium
Color: Golden-brown-buff. Off-white flesh.
Taste: Good flavor. Tender, crisp, juicy.
Storage: Good. Up to 3 months.
Pests/Disease: Trees appear to resist bacterial canker but are very susceptible to fire blight.


2. Shinseiki
Cross of Nijisseki ("20th Century") x Chojuro ("Plentiful"). Japanese selection introduced in 1945.

Season: Early
Size: Medium
Shape: Globular, lop-sided
Color: Green to yellow-green to bright yellow, smooth. White flesh.
Taste: Sweet, slightly tart, firm to rock hard, crunchy, course, juicy
Storage: Excellent, 3-5 months
Fertility: Self-Fertile, but more productive with another pollenizer
Pests/Disease: Fire blight susceptible, but some have moderate resistance
Notes: Fruit hangs on the tree well.




3. Ichiban Nashi

Season: Early. Ripening ahead of 'Shinseiki', 'Shinsui', and 'Kosui.'
Size: Large
Color: Light gold to brown. Russet.
Taste: Sweet
Storage: keeps poorly


Unless its a seedling!

Looks like either a Hosui or Chojuro Asian Pear. I have them on my property, produces tons of fruit every year.

It looks like an Asian pear to me, too.

Two weeks ago I found a patch of wild fruit trees in a neighbor's fence row. One of the trees is a wild apple that bears fruit looking very similar to my Olympic Asian pears. Can you spot the apple in this picture?

[Benja]

Wow, that tree is loaded! Are those a named variety of apples?

 

[Bowsnbucks]

I think he's showing a pear tree, Benja. Not apples. They DO look like some wild apples I've seen though. Russeting types of apples have that "bronze" look to them.

Wild Asian Pear at edge of my yard.

 

[Telemark]

Are there any Asian pears that would do well in a climate like that of Juneau?

The two fruits that are still hanging are my Olympic Asians, the one I'm holding is the wild apple. I was surprised by the level of similarity these different fruits achieve.
