I've seen this tree bloom three times now, but this time it has set fruit (the last two years it was frozen or droughted, I think :).
This year it has fruit which looks like a pear (from 12 feet down on the ground). It bloomed the same time as my Callery pear, but they're white, not pink, and their fruits are tiny. These are 3/4-1", the same size as on my asian pear. The tree is about 30' tall, and not very wide. It's in a spot that I suspect once held a home, as there are daffodils back in the woods in the same area.
I posted on the plant ID thread, and thoughts tend towards peach, which is the one thing I'm pretty sure it is _not_. It has the little flower remains on the bottom like pears and apples, unlike the pointed ends of peaches and plums I'm growing. Leaves are also like pear and apple. It has a weeping growth pattern.
Any thoughts?

Thanks!
