The leaves flowers and stems certainly indicate C. Pubscens, but the fruit shapes 
suggest that you have two different varieties. I've heard that the USDA or their 
subcontractors managed to confuse a lot of varieties. The commercial varieties that 
I've seen are more apple shaped so my guess is that yours are a little further back 
down the domestication trail.
