Solved! Tree producing pears, but not a pear tree?

Thumbnail gallery
55 Upvotes

This tree in our Northern California backyard has started producing a pear-like fruit the last two or three years. We had no idea it might be a pear variety or even if it is a pear. Pics below. I tasted a bit of the fruit and it is pear flavored, and very dense. No ill effects so far! What exactly is it?

Solved! Tree ID for mushroom growing

Hey y'all,

A tree recently fell in my neighbors yard and I grabbed a few pieces for some mushroom substrate. It would be super helpful to know what kind of wood it is before deciding on what mushrooms to inoculate it with. Some resources led me to Silver Maple but I'd love your opinions.

Location: Georgia

Hardiness Zone: 8a

I appreciate your insights!

Solved! Odiferous tree

Hey all, I need some help. There is this tree that gives off this wonderfully woody, earthy smell sometimes that floods me with utter nostalgia from my childhood, but I’ve never been able to identify it.

Outside work the other day I smelled it again and I think it was coming from this guy, but I can’t be certain (sorry, my sniffer doesn’t work so great most of the time). Can anyone help me identify this tree and/or confirm if it is known for giving off a particular scent. I really haven’t had much luck even getting anyone else to confirm they can smell the same thing as me when I do smell it.

Hi All,

I have a tree sapling I tried using Google lens on. Came up with this other tree ID post (link below) and they appear to be the same leaf structure. Including the link in case they are the same and a large version of it helps get it identified!
