Don't know. If I had to guess, I'd say a camellia. You'll notice that
the leaves are glossy with a smooth edge. Crab apples have a serrated
edge to their leaves. In my experience, you need to have leaf, flower,
and fruit (seed) to make an identification.
It is a serrate edge, you dumb ass, look at the picture, doper.
Serrate is fine but I think "erose" is better.
Merriam Webster
erose
adjective
: IRREGULAR , UNEVEN ; specifically : having the margin irregularly
notched as if gnawed an erose leaf
