My first thought was cherry, as well. Was this photo taken recently - our cherries have all dropped their leaves. Ahh - I see - 3 weeks. If it's a juvenile the leaf shape and coloration may be atypical of the adult plant. I agree with FC on the sparkleberries, but the leaves look too elongated for pawpaws.

How long are the leaves? Are the margins smooth or toothed? They look like they're closely alternate along the stems; is that accurate, or are they opposite? I don't think it's a sassafras. That would have irregularly shaped leaves, even in a young specimen. My first thought also was that it’s a cherry of some kind. How long are the leaves? Are the margins smooth or toothed?
