I picked the examples in the picture a couple of weeks ago so the leaves are wilted but the fruit is very much the same and there is a quarter in the picture for size comparison. I wish I had taken a picture of the tree itself but didnt. Both trees was short in height say around 10 to 12 feet. From looking in my tree identification book it would look that the sample in the bottom of the picture is Mountain Winterberry but Im not positive. These trees are growing on Fort Campbell Military base so I dont get there very often. Does anyone know these fruit for a positive identification ? I was thinking about planting the fruit and starting up some around my area if I can get them identified.
 
Sounds great. Thanks for all the help. It looks like I might have a couple more varieties to plant for the deer and other critters.

The one on the bottom looks like it could be an Autumn Olive.

Do those Autumn Olive's eventually turn purple? Do the deer like them? I know where a bunch of those trees are on our place.

dont think they are autumn olives but i stand to be corrected. berries do look similar but the leaves are a little off compared to the ones im used to seeing. they are a shrubby plant (but can get quite large) with kinda of a slender, white chalky looking leaf. they were once thought to be great food for wildlife and were often planted several years ago. deer will browse the leaves. birds go nuts over the berries. and you will have them under every powerline and fence row within a mile in 2 years. very very invasive. definately better options out there than autumn olives. stick to the native stuff.
 
Well there are over 70 species and several hundreds of different varieties of crabapples. I was wrong about the bottom sample in the picture. It looks as though that crabapple is called a "Sargent Crabapple" as best I can tell. The top one in the picture is called "Malus Sikkimensis".

Probably not the right name but close enough. I now know they are both crabapples and Im going to plant the fruit from both of them. Thanks again for all the help.
