They look like crab apple. They’re not poisonous but they are rather nasty tasting

I’m no expert, but the leaves and fruits both say “crab apple” to me.

Sometimes, it depends on the time of year. My mom had small berries this year, sometimes she has larger berries. It’s very strange that they’re even popping this time of year.
