Pretty sure black cherry would be considered a hardwood. Use it quite a bit for firewood, definitely not soft.

Black Cherry is considered a hard wood and is going for pretty darn good money if it is a veneer quality specimen.

Dug out a REALLY thick tree book, and it appears this one I illustrated cannot be a black cherry as the undersides of the leaves lack the "hairy" fringed midrib on the leaf undersides. The only other type of cherry I can locate information on with the same narrow leaves is the fire (pin) cherry but his tree is much taller than the 25-30 foot height those normally grow to. It cannot be a dogwood or an elm because their leaf shapes are very different from my tree.

Bark and leaves tells me it's a cherry.

I am 99.9 % sure its it's a Choke Cherry tree.... There nasty and stain everything, especially after the berries have been consumed by the birds!

Looks like Cherry to me. I have a lot of them well over 50 ft high. You don't see much fruit because the birds eat it. That is propably how it got there, transported by a bird. In the spring you should get little white flowers with petals only about 3/8" long.

Awful big for choke cherry, and those leaves don't look mature yet. Choke cherry leaves will also have hairs on the underside.

Looks like every large black cherry I've ever seen.
