Saw this yesterday and was struck by its beauty but I haven't a clue what it is.

Crataegus crus-galli perhaps.

I think it looks more like Pyracantha coccinea.

The new canes cannot be affected until they fruit next year and a new generation of mites attack. Try some of the control measures at UC Davis linked above or other measures to lessen your mite population. Of course there could be mites already hiding out on the new canes; nothing for that until they emerge to do their duty next year. Certain beneficial insects can eat mites.

What tree or bush is it? Red berries on it.

Looks evergreen and arborescent in photo, leaves don't really look like they have the same coloring, texture and veining of winterberry either. Surely this is something more on the order of Dahoon holly. This post was edited by bboy on Sun, Dec 15, 13 at 16:55

Might also have been agarita (mahonia trifoliolata/berberis trifoliolata). Here is a link that might be useful: Agarita, Agarito, Algerita, Agritos, Currant-of-Texas, Wild Currant, Chaparral Berry

I second the Pyracantha id. The berries on mine just turned orange the past couple of days.

Can someone set me straight? I thought all Pyracantha had leaves with serrated margins and thorns? Am I wrong?

P. koidzumii for instance produces leaves with entire margins.

...from Crataegus it is separated by bearing 2 fertile ovules (rather than 1) in each cell, as also by the leafy thorns, unlobed lvs. which are persistent
