Can anyone identify the type of tree/bush this is ?

Could it be plum ?

Not plum.

It has large pear shaped, green-yellow fruit, furry like peach, and very hard. I think it's used for jam.

Close-up of the leaves.

Nispero or quince ?

The nisperos my friend and I had last week were very small. Could be quince, not sure how big they are.

Rosemary

Definitely quince !

I looked both up on wiki and it matches quince.

How 'bout that ? I have a quince tree !

Many thanks Capitans Wench, I've been asking people for ages.

De nada, quince jelly and Burgos cheese yummmmyy

I reckon it's quince, which has very large leaves.
If you want to make 'membrillo, it needs an awfully unhealthy amount of sugar to set.

Yes, looks like Quince. I have one here.
The fruits a bit further forward than that, though I'm a bit further South here.
Mine just popped up out of nowhere, not another one around here that I know of.
I didn't know what it was at first until it grew a bit, now it gets really loaded with fruit, makes brilliant crumbles I've found.

Thank you Capitans Wench, Rosemary, Euzkadi and DD.

Interesting information.

Your local town I take it ?
Thought there must be more attractions up there than the rubbish weather.
Ah well, looks like you'll just have to grow your own now.

Pity.
