We have a small 10ft tree (or tall single-shoot shrub) that
currently has
red-green leaves and cerise flowers (luminous red, definitely not pink).
The flowers and leaves are cherry-like but the bark is not shiny.

Still sounds like a flowering cherry. Our dark-red-flowered
red-leaved cherries have dark, rather gnarled, bark


When you look at the flowers, it doesn't look at all like a cherry.
More like from the Scrophulariaceae family (digitalis, pentstemons,
snapdragon, etc) ? Cannot find any flowering tree of this family
though...

Eh? The OP didn't provide any reference to a picture or give any other
description of the flowers other that "the flowers and leaves are cherry
like".

You're not getting this mixed up with the other tree id thread, are you?
