Question
I saw this tree while hiking in Cuyahoga Valley in Ohio. It bears dark red and green fruits. Tried online identification but could not arrive at a specific species. I hope you can help me. Thanks.
Answer
Dear rayrites, the woody plant you have photographed is a species of Malus (apple). While I cannot be certain from just a photograph, it may be Malus prunifolia (pear-leaved crab apple). Best wishes.
