I think that the one on the left looks is a crabapple of some sort and the one on the right is a sorbus (aka Rowan, aka mountain ash).

Crab apple and pyrocantha

Likely the one on the right is mountain ash, either American or European. Determining which would call for further forensics -- the leaflets of the European are proportioned a bit differently and are slightly hairy on the bottom. The one of the left could well be crabapple but there are several different sorts as well as varieties bred for their flowering quality. Various sorts grow anywhere from the deep south to well into Canada (not to mentions any that may have been planted as an ornamental) Spines on stems? Leaves rounded bases or more elliptical? Hairy bottoms on leaves? Any small signs of lobes on the leaves?

Pyracantha does not have a compound leaf, plus it is not a tree.

Peppertree, perhaps.

Despite having berries like a pyracantha, it's not that. I'm even more sure today that it's a Sorbus (Rowan/Mountain Ash).

Thank you so much for the info..... I checked out pictures of Rowan Mountain Ash and you are right.

Deamons i detest photobucket. 20 dogzillion crappy scripts and it locks up and won't do anything. Try BayImages instead. Much cleaner.
