Usually I'm pretty good with this stuff but this one has me stumped. It's on a friend's property, at the edge of an old cow pasture being slowly converted to a perennial garden. They thought it was some type of hawthorn, but the fruit is not red and the leaves are just slightly serrated. The twigs look like an apple/crabapple but the fruit is soft and fleshy. There are some native viburnums that get pretty big and develop into a small tree but the leaf and fruit arrangement is wrong. And it does have a few hawthorn like thorns up in the middle of the tree but not many. Am I overlooking something obvious?? Sorry for the poor quality of the leaf/twig photo, the camera has an autofocus feature that I can't figure out either...
