Plant ID: cherry?

Tiny plums. May be a rootstock fruiting not a proper variety.

Can anyone help me ID this plant, please? It is 12 foot high shrub covered in sweet red berries. I think it might be a cherry tree of some description, but it is not a classic cherry with the long stems. Here are some photos.

looks like a cherry plum to me,

I'd say it's a crab apple

Can you cut one open please? I'm thinking cherry plum too but only opening one up will confirm.

My vote is for plum

Leaves look too small to be a cherry! I think it looks like a plum, what colour were any flowers? White would be plum blossom. Can't recall what cherry flowers are like, haven't seen any for years, maybe white with pink tips. Check on Google or You Tube.

Isn't it too early for a crab apple?

yes. Good spotting . you found my deliberate mistake

It is, and also the fruit in the picture don't have the little rosette 'tail' that crab apples have. Must be a cherry plum.

a plum, fairly common but don't know name, take some to nursery/ garden centre or call in at an orchard near you for advice; some of the older generation may know

google Wairere.co.nz and have a look at their plums- may be purple king
