    It looks like Chinese crabapple, which is toxic to humans.

    General rule is you **never** eat anything before it’s IDed, because there are plenty of toxic fruits that look edible. If they were on public property, there’s also every chance they’ve been sprayed with things like pesticides. That said, these look like crabapples that have been previously frozen. Not sure if they’re an edible cultivar or not.

    Looks like Malus baccata, or the Siberian crabapple, is a hardy, deciduous tree native to Asia, known for its fragrant white flowers and small, edible red or yellow fruit. It is highly cold-hardy, making it a valuable rootstock for other apple varieties, and is also grown ornamentally for its blossoms and wildlife attraction. The tree prefers full sun, moist, well-drained soil, and can tolerate a range of soil types and pH levels.

    Even though they are edible to humans be cautious
