Can anyone identify this tree with red berries?

Question

Is it a cranberry tree? The berries hang down from a cluster of stems like cherries.

Ginger Throckmorton · Answer

It looks like a type of cherry tree to me.  There should be a small stone (seed) in the center of the fruit if it is a cherry.

Cranberries grow on a low plant and are harvested by flooding the area because they float.  They do not grow on a tree.

Looks like an ornamental Crabtree. Also,FYI...There is what you call a High Bush Cranberry that grows in colder states It is a tree. But, this picture looks like the Ornamental crab. This winter the birds will eat the fruit.

Crabapple. Very tart, but makes fantastic jelly!

Leah Wynne · Answer

Thanks everyone! After googling all those ideas I've determined it is the crabapple tree. I guess I'm learning how to make jelly!

Diane Turner · Answer

If you cut one open is it an apple? Crab apples are miniature apples but those seem very small

It does not look like crabapple to me. Can you include a better picture of the leaves on the tree as well as closer ups of the fruit?

It does not look like a crabapple to me either...it looks like it could be a sour cherry or a choke cherry...there are a lot of different types of cherries!

I would bring a branch to your local nursery (depot or Lowe's not always the most knowledgeable)  they might be able to tell you.  But also ask your neighbors they may have know the previous owner of the property

Contact you local county extension office. They are full of information.

We have one of these, I believe it is an ornamental apple tree. The fruit is not very edible, however the grouse love these after they have frozen.

Cynthia · Answer

Looks like choke cherry. Sprouts from regular cherry, but only tastes good to birds.

I think we have the same tree! It’s fuscia and beautiful for like 2 weeks in the spring! Then it gets dark leaves - kinda ugly but Offers great shade! When u cut the fruit in half theirs seeds not pits! So it is in fact a crab apple tree! Not sure what type! My crapples are tiny in June and get bigger towards end of summer into June!
