    One of the winterberries (Ilex spp., deciduous species).On hawthorns, the berries are in bunches on the tips of shoots.

    Thanks Michael F. I believe maybe this is a Possumhaw holly (Ilex decidua).

    'Winter King' is a selected garden form of green hawthorn, not therefore the first guess when looking at plants growing in the wild.
