That secondpic you're showing is of a ripe fruit. The first one's aren't.I'm looking at the leaves, and they look a lot like persimmon leaves.
Do the fuit turn a pale orange in the summer?

I'm positivethat is a callery pear in a sort of wild state(lack of trimming and the presence of thorns). The fruit is common on most pears, and is inconspicuous. They won't get much bigger before they fall or become bird feed. The fall color should be a crimson red/orange.

A:Callery pear, Pyrus calleryana, is an ornamental pear that can have wicked thorns. The fruit is small and inedible. It is the parent from which 'Bradford' pear was selected in 1963. A callery pear looks similar to 'Bradford', but the thorns distinguish one from the other. Under the right conditions, 'Bradford' pear seeds will germinate. The resulting trees will usually have varying numbers of thorns and less dense
