Not a beech. Looks most like a purple cherry or plum, though not 100% certain; the wood of these is potentially risky as it contains cyanogens.

 

Looks like Purple Leaf Sand Cherry , Prunus x cistena .

oh man, thanks alot, then i gotta get a dif branch... this one has tiny red round fruits but dont look like cherries or plums............

 

oh and this one doesnt have pink flowers, actually i havent seen flowers on it ever........?

 

Mine flowers quite profusely in early spring . I am in Zone 5a - maybe in Alberta , the flower buds are getting killed by the much colder winters ?

 

Leaves and branches say purpleleaf chokecherry to me.

 

oh! thanks alot! anyways seems to be its gonna be toxic for my birdy owww
