on a serious note...I have looked and just can't find it...though I suspect some type of Dogwood berry though that is a guess...when in doubt never eat...

Yea wasn't planning on eating it. But just wanted to figure out what it is. I can't seem to find it.

Probably should be the official berry of this forum.  A good many members here need to eat it each and every morning so their outlook on the world might improve. LOL

A kind of wild pear or Quince?

The above is wild quince....wild plum are about same color as his pic but round..buckthorn are blk wild pear still look like pears or small green apples...I can't identify the leaf...

Could be miracle fruit?

 

[growalot]

are  those leafs serrated? the general leaf configuration looks the same but the leafs are not as rounded as his...could be different sub species what is it?

It's a barberry but I cannot tell from the photo what species. Japanese barberry in particular is a nasty invasive. Deer don't eat it. In areas that have been over-browsed - such as Harriman SP - it becomes a dominant understory species.

 

KILL IT! I should qualify that. There is a native species but I don't know anyone who has seen it.

It's a barberry bush.  I don't know how to id the different species, but it definitely is a barberry.

Dang, Curmudgeon beat me to it.

It has also been shown to increase the prevalence of Lyme Disease and ticks in general:
