The spiny rootstock growth is so old it is bearing fruit.

I have sampled eight groups of Pyrus calleryana and this has the largest fruit and most seeds.

Did you cut these large fruits from the rootstock open to see how many seeds they have?

No calyx. Pyrus calleryana can be thornless and have retained calyx. I will send you my data separately.
