    Maybe it's a sweet cherry (Prunus avium). These usually mature earlier in the summer.

    Can fruiting cherrys get 30 to 40 feet tall I was thought they was susposed to be small trees. This tree has a big trunk to you could just about make fire wood from it.

    Here, where it is a naturalized weed, sweet cherry has been measured more than 100' tall.
