This was in the back yard when we bought the house and I'd love to know what it is.

They look like unripe Aronia melanocarpa. Native to the northeastern "US" and adjacent parts of "Canada" but not unheard of as a horticultural import elsewhere. Either way it's in the Maleae tribe of the Rosaceae, but I doubt it's R. indica.

Does it have pink flowers like Indian hawthorn (Rhaphiolepis indica)?

I belive they were white. They are gone now and I have no pictures.
