egg masses
Reminds me of Enchenopa egg masses -- I find a lot of these on Viburnum.

Host plant...
...is Serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea).

 
What about...
Viburnum lentago with oddly shaped leaves? Green fruit on Amelanchier in September doesn't make sense, and I think Ilona nailed the ID.

 
Agree
The unpointed leaf tips threw me off, but that does make more sense. Cannot tell the leaf arrangement from this photo, but Joe will check the specimen to see if it is opposite, thus supporting Viburnum.

 
are opposite...
Viburnum it most likely, which would apparently be a good host plant for these treehoppers.
