Default Exochorda

Just been to an NGS garden. There was a shrub with fruit that I hadn't
seen before. According to the owner, it was Exochorda (x macrantha "The
Bride" apparently).

Does Exochorda commonly produce fruit? The owner had never seen fruit
before, and I haven't come across it. But then it's (a) usually in
flower when I see it, or (b) I paid no attention to a shrub not in
flower so just didn't notice it.

Can those who grow Exochorda confirm that it regularly fruits (or
doesn't) as the case may be?
