It shows what the berries look like for each one. The berries can be red, bright red, dark red, yellow, bright yellow, or black depending on the species/cultivar.

That is a problem with dioecious species... Now, I don't know if serrata are parthenocarpic, but I would be more pessimistic than optimistic since almost every cultivar of serrata or verticillata I've seen in magazines states that a specific male tree is needed to pollinate it.
