unknown - covered in reddish/ yellowish berry like fruits.

Beautiful! Beautiful! I don't know what tree it is but for some reason it reminds me of Crabapple ... although I haven't seen a crabapple tree since I was a youngster, growing up in Va. so that's just a wild guess and probably way wrong.

Looks like a Crabapple to me.

There are quite a few Crabapples with photos for comparison in our database: http://garden.org/plants/searc...

Crabapple it is then,
I had no idea there are so many.
Thanks all.

jmorth, was that a recent photo of the tree? or was it from earlier this year?

couple of days ago

hmm, maybe it's not Crabapple ? Don't Crabapples produce fruit in late spring or early summer? It's been 48 years since I've seen one but I thought I remembered fruit in early summer but then my memory ain't what it used to be.

Okay, we'll ask questions.
How large is each fruit?
Cut one opened please. What's inside? A single pit or several seeds? How many seeds.
(I feel like a teacher getting ready to give a pop quiz on Tuesday. )

Edited to add:
Malus 'Harvest Gold' crabapple has yellow fruit in the fall. Could that be it?

Crabapples can hang onto their fruits through fall into winter although others drop them earlier. There are still fruits on some trees around here.

Same here.

@greene
The tree is several blocks away, it's night time and it's raining...thusly, unable to access at this time, tomorrow is supposed to bring a couple more inches of rain so I probably won't be down that way tomorrow either.

Each fruit is about a 1/2 in dia.

@greene
Plato and I included walking by that tree in our itinerary today.
Once home we got on our scrubs, grabbed a scalpel and proceeded to open a specimen, the results -






Single seed recovered; repeated experiment on another berry, same results.

Still looks like Crabapple to me; I only found one photo of sliced fruit in the database:

Thanks Lin.

It does still look like a crabapple to me too, the seed is not central as it should be if it was the only one.

It looks like there's room for at least 2 seeds though I only found 1 twice.

Yes, it's the seed arrangement looking multiple that makes a difference to the possibilities even though only one was present because not having a central stone/pit eliminates trees that have drupes as fruits.

Update -
Open and dried a seed pod/fruit and was rewarded w/ more than one seed, so, the pods carry multiple seeds after all.
