Anyone know this plant?
 

Hello. I once saw a very nice plant in someone's garden. It was a
large bush with hundreds of fruit that looked like red/orange apples
the size of cherries. It had a quite a lot of foliage. It's dificult
to remember the size exactly, but it was roundish in shape and about
1.5-2 meters tall and about 2 meters diameter. Anyone know what the
name of it is?

I thought crab apple was a full blown tree with small green apples, no?

Yes, a 16 metre high tree when full grown.

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit;
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad

A crab apple was originally a wild apple tree species which had small,
sharp tasting apples about the same as cherries.

Over many hundreds of years, gardeners (in the widest sense) have
carried out selective breeding, aiming for big and juicy fruit, and as a
result many hundreds of dessert and cooking apples have been developed,
as well as cider apples.

And other gardeners were selectively breeding for purely ornamental
purposes, so that now there are many ornamental varieties of crab apple,
for example, 'John Downie' with red fruits and 'Golden Hornet' with
bright yellow fruits.

So, I suppose a working definition might be that a crab apple is an
apple with small fruit grown for mainly ornamental purposes.
