We just bought a house and there are several plants and trees on our property that we don't know what they are. There is one in particular that really has us wondering. I will try to take some pics and post them when they're ready but I will describe the tree the best I can.

The tree is about 30 ft. tall and it looks to be very old. It has dark green leaves and coming from the branches are straight vine type things hanging. These "vines" are very sturdy and at the end of them a large pear like "fruit" grows. These pear like "fruits" are very hard, have no scent and are a creamish brown color. We took one and cut it open and it is a whiteish color inside. Oh, and it was extremely hard to cut. These things are basically as hard as rock. After these "fruits" drop from the "vines" the "vines" become weak and are easily pulled off the branches.

It's a beautiful large tree but we can't find anyone that knows what it is.
