Yes that is it. Trash tree, we call it.

Those leaves have little spines on the margins.

Reading tells me P caroliniana can have serrulate leaf margins. But I don't know from personal experience.

I knew it was the cherry when I saw stock pictures with the spines. We have had one in the yard years before.

Well, I've never seen one with little spines, and don't think that stock images count for a high degree of accuracy. But I refuse to be someone who thinks that just because I haven't experienced something that it cannot be true. There are enough of those in the forums, lol.

The P. caroliniana is certainly quite common in its range, that's for sure. Most consider it a trash tree, though I have seen numerous specimens that have been groomed into amazingly beautiful large shrubs or small trees.

P. caroliniana for me also.
