In Central VA, although it might not be native. The tree has several clumps of reddish-orange berries.
Edit: Looks like pyracantha coccinea (Wikpedia). Thanks for everyone’s input.
I would think pyracantha, based even on the post title alone. The picture only makes me more certain.
Then again, I am not familiar with some of the other plants suggested in the bot post.
I’ll second pyracantha. This photo doesn’t contain many ID features though, so there remains some uncertainty. However, the bot failing to ID is expected for such a distant photo.
Is it possible to post multiple images as an album? I took several photos, including some up close, but when I made the post I could only figure out how to post a single image.
I believe you can add additional images in the description.
Yup, I’ve settled on pyracantha. Thanks for chiming in!
