I was thinking maybe hawthorn but couldn't find any variety that looks quite like this one. Its fruit seems to be twice if not three times the size of any hawthorn I have seen. I have hunted another hedgerow further up the valley that definitely has hawthorn shrubs along with chokecherry, Saskatoon berries, wild currents, a few blueberry bushes, and tons of raspberries. Quite the cornucopia.
Bubba, the sloe is dark colored well before it loses its leaves whereas this thing has bright red (almost iridescent) fruit when almost no leaves are left on it.
