Now I think they're crabapple trees, not cherry trees. Kinda fits with the ripening timeframe. They're not wild, unless wild crabapples plant themselves in a straight line about 10 feet apart from each other. That's as far as I'm gonna go on these trees, too many crabapple variants make a more solid identification of these unlikely.

Crab apples make awesome jelly.
ReplyDeleteI commented on your last post so I won't say too much here, but you have Hawthorn trees. The leaves are not crabapple as they're lobed and lightly serrated. Crabapple trees have oval leaves.
ReplyDeleteI looked at Hawthorn first, and thought that they all had thorns, which my tree does not (I don't think, I'll have to check tomorrow am).
ReplyDeleteBut lookit this link, malus sargentii: http://www.hort.uconn.edu/plants/m/malsar/malsar1.html
There are crabapples that have three-lobed leaves. Everything fits, including the shortness of it.
