Yes, this is correctly identified. The 'Himalayan Pear' is edible when half-rotten. Recorded from 750-2600m in Nepal as a whole; many places in Kathmandu Valley between 1300-2000m. Known from Afghanistan to SE China & Myanamar in shrubberies especially cultivated areas. Leaves are cut for fodder and the wood used for fuel and small implements in some parts of the Himalaya.
