Looks like Crataegus x lavallei. It's a fine small tree that really
should be more widely grown. The late spring/early summer flowers
are followed by very showy red berries and glossy foliage takes on
very rich bronze and red shades in autumn. Even the bark becomes very
attractive on mature specimens, so it has something to offer
throughout the year.
