Hi All,
Found this tree growing in the bush near my place, I think its some type of juniper but could be wrong.
Can anyone please confirm what it is? its also got these red fruits similar to a cotoneaster. I don't want to be removing it if its native.

Definitely no Juniper.
The Berries look like pyracantha but the leaves don't.
I'd say we should get a few good ideas soon.
The Berry should be a good indicator.

Some type of cotoneaster perhaps, though not sure with those leaves.

Maybe Hawthorn, but the photo is not that clear.

You are right Watto - very dodgy pic.
From the little I can see leaves look like hawthorn but I can't get a decent look at the berries.
EJZ: Leaf and fruit are just 2 factors to help with ID. Some more info will always help. Let us know whether it is a tree, bush or shrub; What the bark on the trunk looks like; overall shape of the plant - wide spreading, tall and thin, etc; where it seems to like to grow - cool gullies, dry hillsides, wet areas, etc. The more info you can give us the better the chances of getting an accurate diagnosis.
