So I see  ;D.

Billie Holiday recorded a song called Strange Fruit and this bush is in the garden of David Holiday (my neighbour and Buddy on 'ere) and I was on holiday when I took the photograph. Spoooky eh?

Yes that is. I think the five sided one is a quince, so that must be a quartz.

Pumes - nargh - quinceses, quinciiquonce are much bigger , about the size of a large lemon and they are knobbly. Imagine one of Scunner's knees, paint it yellow and that's what a quince looks like. Unless of course there are varieties of quince and this is a micro smooth variety then I may stand corrected  :D
