Photograph would be good, as Pamg says. If your tree has fruits, it must have flowered, the one follows the other, so I'd guess you're unable to tell us the colour of the blossom. But a pic of the leaves and stems and the fruits might help.

Sounds like cherry plum, although a little late. Probably a hybrid plum, and probably worth making some jam, or wine. Google Myrobalan, or prunus cerasifera.

try looking up Prunus avium or Prunus padus, both a large bird or 'wild' type and have barely noticable white flowers in spring, birds love them

could you possibly post a photo or give a detailed explaination of the type of leaf and tree---you see it could be damson or sloe-- if its more of a shrub or a wild cherry so size colour and shape of fruit etc. would help
