for what it's worth.
My mother in law, who is very nice but also very plant ignorant, gifted me what was labeled as a wonderful pomme. It sets and holds fruit pretty easily. But... the aril flesh never really seem to 'color up' in either the summer season fruits or the off season fruits (it seems to flower and set twice a year.. once in spring and once in fall)
i've let them hang for months and the arils are always either white, or with a tinge of pink/red. Seeds are really hard. Taste is OK... i wouldnt get out of bed for it but sometimes it's the only thing holding fruit and its fun to split and eat them.
I'm not a huge fan of pome's to begin with.. this may be because i've never ha da good one, but i've never been incentivized to top work it, or get rid of it since it takes up basically no space.
