What tree type in front Yard #635998

Asked May 15, 2020, 1:08 PM EDT

I have a clump of trees next to our driveway. Two have died. I will cut down this spring but am curious what they are? They were on the lot when house was built 30 plus years ago. Am considering having a sawmill turn some into lumber. The lumber would be used for "keepsake" projects for our daughters.

Here you are. It would have tiny white flowers in the spring.

Hi,
We think it is a black cherry - often prized by woodworkers. http://www.minnesotaseasons.com/Plants/black_cherry.html
