    Also these are ROCK hard. I threw one at a wall and it bounced right off and I tried to cut one open and was very hard to chop through

    Quince do tend to be hard ... but I’ve never ever seen a purple one or one that is ‘ribbed’ like that

    Can't see the "flower end" of the fruit very well... if it's pomegranate it should have a very prominent "ex-flower" visible...

    emma, I can't promise anything but I'm at the RHS Tatton Flower Show tomorrow so I'll take the picture of your plant and ask around whilst I'm there.
    p.s. can you just confirm it is a shrub and not a climber.
