Theses pics were taken a while back so I don't remember what time of year it was that this tree was fruiting

Looks crabby to me. But that is a guess.

Holly? Are the leaves toothed at all? or Hawthorn? Any thorns or spikes?
Where do you live?

Yaupon Holly, it is the only native plant we have that is caffeinated. You can make a tea from the leaves but be careful its genus and species is
Ilex vomitoria
the Native Americans used it as a purgative.

First thought was youpon holly as well. If it's anything like other hollies it'll have really white wood, good for risers if not a bow.

I'm only familiar with garden varieties but doesn't youpon holly have smaller, thickish leaves with tiny thorns along the edge. I'm not thinking of Christmas Holly. Quite possibly the native ones are different.

Yaupon holly doesn't have thorns at all but probably lightly toothed leaves. It grows along the Southern Atlantic coast and Gulf coast and slightly inland. We used to call it Christmas berry because of the evergreen leaves and red berries at Christmas time.
