I'd trust the tigers. They know which plant is which.

Here is a link that might be useful: Information on Prunus serotina

The pictures of the flowers are not the flowers on the tree. The flowers on the tree are flat like a disk or a plate.

The link that I sent you is Black Cherry. If your flowers on your tree, do not look like the link, then you do not have black cherry.

I covered 14 black cherry seeds to let them mature. If you want them later, email me off list. My email is on my page.
