Mystery Tree

The tree ID routines on the web suggest maybe a flowering cherry or other fruit tree, but I don't recall any fruit in the 2 years I've been here. It was partly overshadowed by a maple until I cut the maple back last summer. Maybe it's just been unhealthy? It gets plenty of sun now.

Any ideas?
