Does it look more like photo #1 or photo #2?

The flowers look exactly like photo #1, except there are way fewer flowers, and they were more spread out

It may be a variety of Japanese Quince. Japanese Quince looks like a tree - but is actually a shrub. It tends to grow to 6-7'. Established plants have a very dense crown with a tangled jumble of spiny branches. The flowers come before the leaves, and are usually red, but may be white or pink. The fruit is fragrant and looks similar to a small apple although some cultivars have much larger pearish shaped fruits. Keep an eye on the fruit, and leaves to know for sure!

Now that I think of it, the branches do have thorns on them! Thank you! What should I do to make it flower more? I am almost done clearing out the area around it (privet hedge, english ivy, and lots of weeds). There is a large oak tree covered in English ivy above it.

Thank you! That is very helpful! I will!
