Tree identification

Katrina Warren on Dec 14, 2015@Sharon I have no ideal, but it's a very pretty looking tree! I'm asking a friend who lives in Jersey if they know, & will let you know if they do. Otherwise I would pick one of the balls off & take it to a garden center & ask there if they know what tree it is from. :) Well my friend in Jersey didn't know either, hope someone identifies it because now I'm curious too!Helpful Reply

Iberkeley on Dec 14, 2015I don't think it's a persimmon, however, the picture of the fruit (not a berry) is not very clear, so I may be wrong. Here in Portland, OR, the beautiful (smallish) apple-sized fruit ripen ar. Sept./October and are gone by this time of the year. There are various varieties with probably different growing properties. See the picture below, that's the kind I have. I would be interested to find what kind of tree this really is.Helpful Reply

Sharon on Dec 14, 2015Im not too sure about persimmon. The fruit is about the size of a crabapple for one and the hardiness zone for persimmons isn't compatible with Canada which I would say is 3-ishHelpful Reply

Lee Govan on Dec 15, 2015Unsure if they will grow in colder climates, and cannot see clearly, but could it be loquat tree? The smaller fruit looks right in colour and size.Helpful Reply

Linda Bailey on Dec 15, 2015That is not a persimmon tree. Have you sent this picture to your state's extension office? They can give you the answer. https://njaes.rutgers.edu/extension/Helpful Reply

Bonnie on Dec 15, 2015There are some wild persimmon trees in the eastern US that grow fruit this size. That said, you are correct that this tree is a yellow crabapple. The darker fruits are over-ripened and have begun to rot.Helpful Reply

Cheryl Gyles on Dec 15, 2015I'm fairly certain this is a crabapple tree. The two different color fruits are in various stages of ripening. There will be beautiful white or pink blossoms in the Spring.Helpful Reply
