I think it is a cotoneaster of some kind. There are a lot of cultivated varieties. From tiny ground hugging ones to big tree like ones. They are generally big shrubs rather than a tree. But can seem tree like or be grown like one.
Do you know if it gets white flowers and winter berries? (Berries of different varieties can be red, orange or even yellow).
My mother used to pronounce it the way you would think ... until she found out she’d was wrong ... but she said she wasn’t wrong ... ‘they’ had changed the pronunciation 🤣

That particular one makes a good tree. My garden is very large and I inherited lots of different ones. They are great for wildlife, bees love the flowers, the buzzing is almost deafening when you walk past. Good cover for birds and then berries for winter.
They are undemanding and look good both in flower and berry, but keep a lookout - you will find young plants germinating everywhere! They have been useful space fillers for me, with the different varieties, but I have so many now that I have to weed them out.
