More evidence is required. At least a description, other than "in my yard?"

Just messin' with you.;-) :biggrin:

As a bona fide landscape professional (with a B.A. in Philosopy and a partial master's in music,) I can tell you that the samples you submitted are the fruit and foliage of an apple tree.

I don't know how tasty they are just for eating (some "yard" trees are grainy, sour, etc.) but my Grandmother had four trees in her yard that produced similar-looking apples. She made AMAZING applesauce out of them. Particularly yummy when it was hot. My mom will even make it for me sometimes with Splenda--all the yummy, none of the guilt.

Enjoy!

My grandmother's apples were a little bigger than my fist. (I have big hands.) Plum-sized seems a little small, but they may not get much bigger. I certainly wouldn't expect Golden Delicious-sized apples.

The 3rd picture looks like it's full-grown to me.

I have fond childhood memories of picking apples like these right off the trees in our backyard. Sour and yummy. Did you taste it?

A Juvenile Pink Bunkadoo. It will grow 600 feet tall, bright red, and smell terrible.

P.S. I don't work in Hawaii, but if you want to send me on a field trip...

I have grapes growing in my yard and I am skeered to eat them too. ;-)
I do eat the black razzberries though.

Throw caution to the wind. :idontno:

I was skeered of muscadines until a couple of years ago. They're wonderful!

Eat first, call poison control later.

Wally: That is not meant to be eaten!
Vermin: You never know until you've eaten it!
