It may be a cherry tree.

Yes, my first thought was some kind of Prunus as well. Not quite certain though.

Edit to ask if we might have a close-up of the leaf margins?

my guess without more close-ups is the first is persimmon, the second could be apple.

Yeah. Ok. Cherry. Bummer. I have plenty of those already.

New pics. It's hard to see till zooming in, but where the leaf stem leaves the trunk, there is a feathery reddish protrusion. New leaf?



The same protrusion can be seen on this older cherry. They are some wild variety that is in my neighborhood.
