Shrub, tree or weed?

6 years ago

Found this leafy plant growing among hostas. It doesn't look like anything in my yard or neighbor's yard. I'm NJ zone 7a. Any help on identifying is appreciated.

Ive been looking up prunus for the last little bit to ID my own mystery tree (have a current post too). Its either Choke, black or pin cherry, maybe the remnants of something else, possibly a rootstock. The flowers are a dead give away. Also for what its worth, the third pic definitely has margins/serrations and are almost identical to the species i listed above. The flowers + the leaves at the very least give you an ID of some Prunus, and most likely some cherry. Can you get some closer pictures of the flowers please?
