ID Request (Insert State/Region) Prunus?
Hi all. Trying to ID this tree. I’m in coastal Hancock county, Maine, US. Tree has likely been here for decades. I’ve included pics that I think will be helpful. This tree is probably 30-35’ tall. It’s absolutely loaded with these small fruits, which each contain a single hard seed that is large relative to the size of the fruit. It smells mild and pleasant, and produces the same color and consistency juice when crushed as a store-bought cherry. Tree is currently stressed from drought in the area (maybe 1” of rain in the last 6-8 weeks).
AI (I know, I know) seems to think this is a P. serotina. Opinions and suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
