Japanese quince with ?? （紅梅と不明の木）

Today I lopped the Japanese quince which is standing in the center of the lower tree.
It showy red flowers in early spring. But I don't know name of the lower tree.

This is the tree which my wife lopped.

But I didn't like what she did, so I did branch lopping again.

If she knows that, she must be saying " I never do anythings".
