      Also looks like it to me. The leaves have the right shape and pattern, they appear to be alternate on the stem (can't quite see it properly) and the seed pods look right.

      @Snorky85 Looking at the spent flower heads I would go for a self seeded cherry myself with the shape and size of the leaves.. :scratch:

              Thank you shiney.
              How very kind.

              I should not have said "I am fairly sure that it is Amelanchier sp"

              I should have said.....It is Amelanchier sp!
