My Mystery Fruit Tree
The other day I made an exciting discovery! A tree on the very back edge of my property line, right beside my compost pile and some mulberry trees, is growing a small, so far green, pitted fruit. And I think it could be edible! So then the next day it was nice out, and dry, so I decided it was finally time to take pictures of my garden and flowers and some other plants in my yard to post here. I’ll put them up soon, when I have a little more time (I’m on my lunch break right now) but for now I thought I’d post the pictures of my mystery tree, including close-ups of the leaves and fruit. Maybe somebody out there has an idea for me.

The next picture is an even better one, because you can see the leaves a little clearer and the evidence of caterpillar enjoyment.
Does anyone know what kind of fruit I will have soon and if it will be edible?
My best guess? Some kind of cherries. They have what seem like cherry stems and shape and pits. They grow in groups on the tree. And check out this picture I found of cherry tree leaves as compared to my photos.
