I read that very same thing Matt, long ago. No doubt from the same source though I don’t remember where I read it anymore.
I pulled of I-68E onto a secondary road a long time ago and stopped on that secondary road to do something in the car. I happened to look out and in a yard nearby was the largest Quince with the largest fruit ever. At first glance I crazily thought they were lemons. They were all laying about and I grabbed one and took it home. I didn’t have any idea what it was. I had to look it up and found it on Wikipedia.
The exit was Belle Grove I think…somewhere down around there.
