Trying to I.D. Backyard Tree

9 years ago
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone can identify a tree in my backyard. I live in southern Ontario, not exactly sure what zone I'm in.
The attached photo shows the leaves and fruit it produces each year. The fruit is about a half inch in diameter and looks like a cross between a small crabapple and a cherry. The leaves look like it is a cherry tree, but the fruits are quite hard, and I'm wondering if they are edible.
The tree has a slight purplish appearance, the crown is globe shaped and it's about 12 feet tall.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
