Mystery bush consultation

Cheryl, a co-worker and friend, thought the mystery bush might be some sort of fruit tree.  I have to admit, I was skeptical. Where would a fruit tree come from? Plus it really didn't look like a tree. Well..... The neighbor to the west has a huge old crabapple tree in the front yard (fairly close to where the mystery bush is growing).  The leaves look the same.  Hard to say if much else does.  The mystery bush does not have any crab apples or other fruit on it.  The poor scraggly thing is in a place where it gets very little direct sunlight and is in serious competition for survival.

My niece-in-law initially thought that it might be some sort of fruit tree also, since the picture of it with blossoms looks like something is forming at the base of the blossom. However, the last time I looked, a dead blossom or two was still hanging on, but that was it.

We'll be taking down the pine tree that is growing up in the middle of it. We'll see what next year brings us in terms of blossoms, etc.
