Looks like Bradford pear. Technically edible but not good at all

Asian pear?

Possibly a Callery pear, or some kind of hybrid.

Asian pear

Callery pears *Pyrus calleryana* can cross pollinate with Asian pears *Pyrus pyrifolia* which can cause wild seed sprouted trees to have larger than normal Callery fruit. They should be edible but they may taste bad

If the fruit is like golf ball sized or slightly smaller, it may be a shipova tree (cross between a Sorbus and Pyrus aka mountain ash and pear).
Supposed to taste good when properly ripened.
I am not confident in ID but this definitely looks like larger fruit than Bradford pears.

Looks like one of the Bradford crosses … some are quite edible … some need a frost and some would make good Perry (pear cider) and most are too small and bitter to be of any use
