Default unknown small tree?

Sounds like a good possibility...gonna have to google and see if I can find
a pic of one to compare.
Thanks!

This tree was similar to a small apple tree in shape, at least the top

part
was, and the leaves, not too large, and simple, were about 1" by 2-3"

long,
were a lovely pink shade.....thought of a burning bush changing red in

fall,
but this was really pink...almost fuchia....


Maybe European Spindle Tree (Euonymus europaeus)? It turns a bright fuchia
color in fall (related to burning bush but much taller) and grows here in

zone
4/5 with no problem. It also has bright fuchia-pink blooms in summer.
