going by the first pic with fruits

1) bradford/cleveland/calleryana pear
2) another related pear - might be worth checking how edible the fruit is. looks like a cross between a bradford and an asian cultivar.
3) a large-fruited crabapple
4) a small-fruited crabapple

you could probably do a jelly or something with those bigger crabapples if they taste alright.

interesting. I sent a picture of #2 to Oikos.

"In Michigan there is a cross of callery and the common pear. I have seen it twice. It is not too common usually found in damaged soils along right of ways, etc. enjoy. Ken"

I am still unsure what exactly #2 is.
