Hello Tim, happy to help.

It's likely a cherry tree. Here is a link to photos of various types of cherries.

University of Minnesota Extension master gardeners do not vouch for the
edibility of plants based on photos submitted to Ask Extension.

Many thanks to Bob Bystrom whose answer to a similar question provided me with the needed information.
