I have a small shrub/tree with red single leaves and grey white fuzzy berry-like fruits which are green on the inside. Before the fruits it had strange reddish pink flowers. Does anyone have any idea what plant it is? Thank you for your assistance.

The Bonfire peach tree (Prunus persica 'Bonfire') is a dwarf cultivar of the peach tree, prized for its ornamental features rather than its fruit. It is a hybrid resulting from crossing various Prunus species, likely including peaches, nectarines, and ornamental flowering peaches.
Characteristics
- Compact size: The Bonfire peach tree is a dwarf variety, typically reaching only 5-8 feet tall and wide at maturity. This makes it a great choice for small gardens or even container planting.
- Showy flowers: In early spring, the Bonfire peach tree produces double pink flowers with deep pink centers.
- Dark red foliage: The most striking feature of the Bonfire peach tree is its foliage. The leaves emerge a deep red in spring and mature to a rich burgundy color. This dark foliage holds its color well throughout the growing season.
- Fruit: The Bonfire peach tree produces fruit, but the peaches are small and not flavorful. They are best left on the tree for ornamental purposes or used for making jams and jellies.
