I could swear we figured this out last year, but I went back and couldn’t find the answer. Found this over the weekend. Anybody? 5 bonus points for human harvest time too.  |

My guess is Canadian Hawthorn.

Be careful on the hawthorn fruit. The seeds contain small amounts of arsenic similar to apple seeds.

Serviceberry? I think Stu May have even guessed that. In his temporary absence, I will speak for him and say that is exactly what he said.  |

That would make sense. Thanks

When he said serviceberry, I think SD was referring to what he has, and that would make sense vs the hawthorn I suggested. I say this simply because upon further inspection, SD's pictures didn't have any thorns, and almost all wild growing hawthorns have some amount of thorns on them. Cockspur hawthorn does have some cultivars that are thornless, but the fruit is smaller and they would have to have been planted there by someone, as I do not believe they are a naturally occurring variety, at least in SD's corner of the world.

I’m going to jump on this thread rather than starting my own. I have something similar that I found yesterday. It caught my attention as a potential Apple/hawthorn. It had a neighbor that was browsed on pretty heavy. It is underneath the outer limbs of a large oak. Thoughts?    Leaves look like buckthorn. Do you have picture of fruit? |

If that's buckthorn ten it's an invasive.

My first thought was buckthorn too, but i’m terrible at telling soft mass varieties apart!

It wouldn’t shock me if it was buckthorn, but the bark is a lot lighter and I thought I’d check before I killed it. It had some branches that had been bit off so that’s what got me thinking something else. No fruit yet so I can just mark it and watch it.

Have you seen it in the fall with leaves still on late into the season? If buckthorn I would kill immediately |
