Identifying Cherry

buttershug

Greetings.

I bought the 1" sweet cherry tree from local Wamart 8 years ago. It has established and looks healthy but it bears few fruits - about two dozens a year. When I planted it I wasn't aware cherry trees need cross pollenation so I just threw away the tree tag w/o noting the variety. I only know it is a sweet cherry and not Rainier.

I don't konw if it is a self fertile type but for 5 years every year it bears but just very few fruits. I am positive it is the only cherry tree in the neighborhood. Is it possible for a non-self fertile tree to bear some fruits?

I am trying to find out what it is so I can choose the right one for 2nd cherry tree in the yard.

It flowers a lot and early - about 10 days earlier than the Stanley/Italian plums in my yard. The flower photo was taken 4/30 this year. I am posting multiple photos hoping someone can help to identify the tree.

Thanks
