On my property, Southern Missouri, zone 6a/b.
Pictures were taken in mid June, no clue what the flowers looked like.
Full height somewhere in the 12-15 foot range.
I did not taste the fruit.




Any ideas?
:D

I am not familiar with North American flora, but it reminds me of cotoneaster  - e.g. cotoneaster dammeri.
Hopefully some other members has a better clue.

Anita: That may be it!  Some of the pics online look like it, some don't. The one single berry in an odd position seems like it'll make it easy for someone to ID it....

Looks like a honeysuckle Bush.  Are the berries very soft and grow in pairs?

These are a decorative shrub and not human food.

yup, agreed, it’s a honeysuckle. there are several species of invasive bush honeysuckles in your part of the world, a bit hard to pinpoint which through pics.

Berries are growing single.

and yeah, there are at least two types of honeysuckle on the property...
must bloom very early then. I'll watch for it next spring.
