I noticed few trees with a bunch of these tiny little cherry like fruit and there were no leaves left on the tree. My plant ID app i dont trust much has told me 3 different things but Chinese crab apple seems to be the closest. Anyone familiar with theses? 2025-12-17T15_30_37-08_00.webp2025-12-17T11_29_48-08_00.webp2025-12-17T11_28_48-08_00.webp2025-12-17T11_20_19-08_00.webpany help would be much appreciated!
 
I've always thought they were choke cherries and called them that. I'm not one-hundred percent sure, but that's my guess

*edit: okay i was very wrong. i did some research on this, and, yeah it looks like Chinese crabapple. I've been eating them since i was eight and i never got sick, so i think you should be fine. They're very bitter though.

We have had a crab apple tree before but the apples don’t look right so I’m assuming it’s not a crab apple I’m sorry
