And filled my pocket with them. Got 150ish seeds and going to stratify them in the fridge. Hoping I get a decent yield of starters. Would love to have these on the property.

Those look like Thorn apples or maybe hawthorns. At least that's what we called them when I was a kid. The wild crab apples I remember were a little smaller than a golf ball, green and waxy.

You're probably right. Some type of hawthorn is probably what they are but the leaves don't look like the hawthorns I know from up north. These look like apple leaves. Fruit tastes like apples, too, but they do look exactly like hawthorns. I put a camera on the tree to see if deer are eating the fruit. Something's eating it as there weren't many on the ground. Curious if it's deer or other critters.
