Bullace - Prunus domestica? Maybe? And btw, good for you including
pics of the leaf and the fruit. A longshot of some tree saying 'what's
this' doesn't usually help much. ;-)

That would be my guess, but there are quite a lot of other species
of Prunus that might look similar. For the OP, if it is Prunus,
the fruit will have a single plum- or cherry-like stone (or JUST
possibly a crinkled one, like a peach). Cracking the stone will
give one or two kernels, which will smell of bitter almonds when
crushed.


Regards,
Nick Maclaren.
