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.

 
What do you have in that there bucket? It wouldn't be a tiny ad by any chance ...
