I guess the weird part is that the berries are the only thing left at this time of year? I'm originally from the midwest so I'm familiar with crabapples and they lose their fruit in the fall. I'm living on the east coast now so this is definitely something new to me. I am very interested in biology so this is something I pay attention to. I would LOVE to make some jelly with these berries if I just knew if it was safe. If it IS Hawthorn there are many cardiovascular benefits they provide.

Unfortunately I don't remember what the leaves even looked like. It seems to me I remember a tree with red leaves being there before b/c I saw the leaves when I rode my bike up that hill.
