I’ve never seen any fruit or flowers on it before but it seems to like the sun. Some folks last year thought it could be a blackthorn due to the huge thorns - maybe it’ll produce sloes this year.
Thank you for your replies. The blossom is very much like that on my two apple trees. This is the first year it has flowered so hopefully some fruits will follow. I wonder what it will be! 😀
It looks like an apple or crab apple, or possibly a quince as @Fairygirl suggested. I think what were thought last year to be ‘spines’ are actually ‘fruiting spurs’ … and now the tree is happier and healthier many of those spurs are producing blossom … hopefully fruit will follow.

It's not blackthorn I'd agree with @Dovefromabove, if it doesn't have those thorns, it could be a crab apple or something similar. Certainly nice for you anyway @Wild_Violet. Keep us updated
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

I asked about identifying this tree last year. Do the flowers help to identify it?
Thanks 😊
