Aronia berries are more bunched than that, I think - and are extremely tart even when ripe, when they're black.
I'd go for Crataegus myself - though if Nut didn't recognise it, maybe I'm wrong - I reckon you're the ace plant detective on this forum...
I found Crataegus x Lavalleei on the Net, which is supposed to have very few thorns, orange-red berries and leaves similar to your photo. I think there are lots of hybrid hawthorns and regional variations, too.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I'm not really a detective Liri, I've seen a lot of plants and recognise them but I'm as lost as anyone else when I don't recognise one.
The owners of this one will be visiting me soon, I'll ask them to bring a branch with them for further investigation, or maybe some seed if it's ready.
Inside, the one I chewed wasn't like a crataegus. It was more 'fruity'
That would be good, Nut. If you can dissect a fruit it might give more clues... did you mean the fruit had more flesh than a crataegus, or that it tasted more like an edible fruit? You said you didn't think it was a Malus though. Did fruit or leaves smell of anything?
I hate not being able to work it out... ...used to love plant IDs at college.

Yes they do Jo.
Blowing a gale again
Very still here
I had a gardening day. Mowed some, weeded some, looked at the unbelievable amount of weeds still there, had a glass of wine

I was pretty confident it was somewhere in Rosaceae when I gave it the taste test Tetley, I'm not as daft as I look
But even my tiny Malus baccata have an apple taste to them and I couldn't detect it. Not ripe yet though so maybe will develop

Nut certainly isn't daft...and doesn't look it either
Thank you artjak

Juicier Liri, the hawthorns I know are all dryish, though there are lots I don't know.

Yes it does Tetley, I don't know Toringo. I'll have a google.
The plant is drifting out of my mind now, I can't see it clearly any more (except in the pic)
