Also, just for fun, here's a shot of a green ash tree with berries.
It's covered with these red berries every year about this time.

weather.

Still looks like a yucca to me. Have you compared to google images of
yuccas?

That's a terrible photo but it could be a joshua tree (which is Yucca
brevifolia), just saying a possiblity, the photo truly sucks.

That's definitely not any kind of ash tree I've ever seen... from that
photo it looks more like [part of] a shrub than any tree.
