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.

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

And was the calyx persistent? The fruits are all hiding their blossom ends...

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