Are these apples please?

Sorry Silver Surfer and all, I should have thought of that in my first post.

 

Bark doesn't look like pear.
Nor cherry.

Flowers look like Malus.
But need to check flowers carefully.

Cherries and plums, sloes have a single stone...so flowers have a single female part..stigma.

Apples have normally 5 pips inside...so flowers have 5 female parts...5 stigma.
see below Below sloe...showing single stone.

 

Malus Gorgeous.
Flower to show 5 x stigma.
Masses of stamen...male part.

Malus 'Gorgeous' | Frank P Matthews

 

Thank you Silver Surfer, that certainly looks like it. I've past the link onto my son.

 

Remember Google is your friend....
www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=crab+apple+varieties+in+ohio#imgrc=go-piGt3Da1M3M
"American Crabapple (Malus coronaria), also known as Wild Crabapple or Sweet Crabapple, is present throughout all of Ohio, and predominates as a spreading tree native to the upper two-thirds of the Eastern United States, especially the Midwestern States."

 

I was not saying it is Malus Gorgeous.
That just happened to be one where I could see the 5 x stigma.

It may be an eating apple or a crab apple.

There are masses of Malus sp and named cultivars.
Need to see leaves /need to see the fruits etc etc.
Need an expert....ie not me.

 

I realise you can't give a completely positive id @Silver surfer but that looks very close to what my son has, and I think we can safely say it is a Malus. He has confirmed the fruit is completely red. I will ask him to provide leaf and fruit shots later in the year.

Thank you, but looking at Malus Coronaria @infradig the trunk seems very distorted on it and doesn't resemble those of my son's. The fruit seems to have a certain amount of yellow in it too.

 

The flowers look like Malus but the total look is of Japanese Flowering Cherry.

Note a single stigma.
