Currently flowering, a small tree with red leaves, red flowers,
developing a fissured bark reminiscent of hawthorn. Ring any bells?

I've got a redleaf red flowered red berried crab, malus floribunda
Rudolf, very pretty atm. No sign of fissured bark yet but it's very young.

Now you mention them, I find that there are quite a few varieties of red
crabs (e.g. Profusion, Royal Beauty, Royalty, Rudolph, Scarlett). What
I've seen (at two places) is probably one (or two) of them, but
identifying which one is probably beyond me. (When I upload the photos
from the camera I can probably confirm that they're Malus.)

Thanks.

You want to worry when it becomes Malus Aforethought!! ;-)

Oh, dear.! Banished to the potting shed for the rest of the afternoon...
