Here are a couple of pics of the trees (shrubs) that I am trying to identify. You can see that the frost has discolored the leaves a bit. These pics were taken this morning.

looks like
Looks like a kumquat tree to me it has them big old thorns and the fruit and leaves look like kumquat. So yea did them up and give them a try. But i would do it in the spring unless you put them in a pot and keep them inside over the winter.

What I will do
I brought home about a dozen of the fruits and think I will plant several in pots. Maybe they will come up this winter. And if they don't come up, I will dig a few of the little ones up and transplant them. I am thinking about building a small greenhouse and that would be a great place to put them during the winter.
What in the world do you do with kumquats?
Thanks for all your help!

It sure looks like Kumquats, but it looks more like Loquats to me. I think Loquats is a Japanese fruit. When you break into one, is it kind of mushy like a Persimmon? Loquats are mushy and Kumquats are like a Satsuma inside that burns your lips after you eat a few.

kumquats
The fruits are full of seeds and look like an orange when you cut one open. Nothing like the persimmons we have here. Though some aren't much bigger.
