Looks like a cherry but it isn't. Help

I agree with that. Some plants move around a lot in the charts. Happens frequently nowadays when DNA comes into play. Nature isn't always easy on that old system of Linneaus!

I'm still leaning towards crabapple, Perhaps Toringo Crabapple. Scientific name varies; Pyrus sieboldii, Malus toringo, Pyrus toringo, Malus sieboldii,
There are of course varieties with names like "scarlet" etc.. Don't know of the fruits internals, but apple fruits can vary a lot, so not necessarily a reason to say it's not apple.
I agree it's almost certainly not a cherry.

I think you may have it with Toringo crab apple

Pysen & BR thanks, that looks like what's in the front garden. I followed the links and it certainly sounds like a Toringo crab apple. Thanks again much appreciated.

Grab those apples and make pectin! Absolutely top flight for it are crab apples. Or crab apple and chilli jelly.....

And it does to me, quite unmistakeable I'd say.

Oh well, wrong again! I'm getting used to this feeling

You're not the only one. From early spring to a week ago I've been thinking fresh cherries from the garden. My wife was going to cook up a nice cherry pie with them.
