Maybe somebody can help me identify this attractive bush/small tree that is growing in the wild fringes of a field among conifers and a few scrub trees and bushes:
If I’m reading Newcomb’s Guide correctly, it’s not chokeberry or chokecherry. An AI identity search agrees and suggests that it might be an Asiatic weeping crabapple tree that was seeded by a bird that had been visiting local gardens.
The bush/tree is about 10 feet tall. Its red fruits are profuse and small, mostly less than ½” in diameter. Those fruits are solid like an apple and bitter, but not gag-inducing, and they droop gracefully on slim stems that usually are less than 2 inches long.
