Expert Response
Apple trees bearing small cherry-size fruit are commonly called crabapples. They are in the genus Malus. Don't consider this edible, though, based on identification here using photos. Get assistance in person.
The Oregon Crabapple is our native tree, Malus fusca. Here is the OSU Landscape Plants page about it. From here you'll be able to navigate to all of the Malus species listed under "crabapple".
