LOL, no worries. At the risk of taking this thread even closer to the gutter...my fruit aren't hairy like a kiwi, they're smooth. They're also yellowy orange so not sure they can be kiwi fruit. A friend has a similar plant and was told it was a quince tree but that doesn't seem to add up either as the fruit on mine don't get any bigger than 3cm. Any more ideas?

Hmm, could well be a Japanese Persimmon (Kaki) Jomifl! I think I shall have to pick a fruit tomorrow and cut it open to confirm.

Too much information Al - you didn't really need to share that you had a 'furry stem' ;)

Prudie, haven't seen it in flower yet I'm afraid. Jules001, they look very similar to the crab apples. Another one to investigate tomorrow!

I didn't say Kiwi .. I said a member of the same family.
The only other tree like this would be a Malus variety... like 'Golden Hornet' http://www.rhs.org.uk...-x-zumi-Golden-Hornet http://www.landford-trees.co.uk/page5.htm |
