Hi All,
Now that November is here, this tree has produced many red berries where it grows in Quincy, MA. I just bit into one of the plump/firm ones and they taste good, a little bit tart and a little bit sweet. But I honestly cannot pinpoint what the flavor is - part apple, part cherry? I want to harvest them and feed them to birds and squirrels, and perhaps I'll have some for myself. I would like very much to know what the species is if anyone knows. They dry on the vine or on the ground and the fruit becomes very syrupy so it suggests that there is sugar inside.
Here is the flickr URL to the pics, one of the tree and one showing the berries, berry clusters, and some leaves, one of the leaves is a fresh one, some might be drier:

By they way, there is another species which I will put out - that is sort of similar except more bushlike - I believe it is black cherry. I will post later on.
