    It grows on a bush about 4’ tall. I used to know but don’t remember the name.

    I was guessing Quince.

    The app confirmed my guess.

    They produce fruit of some kind.

    Mom's quince is in full bloom right now. We have never harvested the fruit before the birds get it.

    I looked up quince but it did not look right. Then I looked up flowering quince and Bingo. That's it.

    Thanks everyone.
