I agree. Possibly 'Big Apple' or 'Autumn Rose' variety. Info I saw says you need two trees to produce fruit. Fruit pulp is edible when ripe, red and soft.

"Crunchberry tree" - thanks for the giggle! Now all we need is the "Cap'n Crunch" tree to match! ;)

Not actually a medium-sized tree, as far as trees go.

It IS a pretty heavily fruiting specimen but two different cultivars are not required for fruiting - C. kousa will produce fruits all by itself. But cross pollination with another close by could increase fertility and result in this rather heavy crop. The fruit is edible but not very tasty.....kind of bland. Birds favor it, though :-)
