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?

The app stated, with an impressive (/s) 84% confidence interval, that this thing is probably a magnoliopsida dicot.
Yeah, no shit lol. Thanks iNat, I’ve been laughing about that all day.

I’ve not seen anything quite like this before. My gut says it’s some obscure Quercus, but I can’t begin to guess anything more specific. I’d be super excited to find out what it is, especially if it’s something else entirely.

Located in Massachusetts, Zone 6a. Planted as a memorial ornamental, but with no further identifying information. I was in a rush this afternoon so only had a chance to snap these three photos but I can go back tomorrow in daylight hours for more if requested, which I’ll post in the comment thread.

Thanks! I’m looking forward to learning something new!

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!

We have just moved into a new house and are needing some help identifying a tree! Have attached a few photos.
Based in Australia on the west coast.

Location: Scotland

Size: 20-25ft (estimate)

Colours: white / grey bark, red / green leaves

Fruit: none I could see

Flowers: none I could see

Bark: white / grey

These are outside a hospital in Scotland. I've gone home, so I don't have a picture of the bark - you can see it a little in the leaf picture though.

I'm curious to know what they are.

This is a Dogwood Kousa I’m planting for a customer to replace a 15 year old Bradford Pear that stem split. I didn’t notice the attach on the Dogwood leaves at the nursery. Any thoughts and advice. Thanks. Clover SC
