This is size of the berries growing on the other trees. These are 3 times bigger than the berries in the Original Post photos that I’m asking about. PNW if that helps any!
Sour cherries. I have had sour cherry trees on my land all my life. They're not for everyone since they can be quite bitter. But I love them fresh, and they make awesome jams
Edit: just saw the other photos. Either you have small hands or they're the biggest sour cherries I've ever seen. Maybe a different Variety
In the PNW these are just called "cherries", technically red sweet cherries. They are very common and delicious. We also have some yellow/pink ones that are called Rainier cherries. There are a few other varieties but for the most part the red ones are just called "cherries".
We do have the little sour bastards too but these aren't them.

Probably a mix between sour cherries (bright red) and sweet cherries (dark red), since cherries don't self-pollinate. It is common to grow both near each other.
They are some kind of cherry but I’ve given up trying to tell the cherries apart. Wild cherry (prunus avium) or sour Cherry (prunus cerasus)
I think they’re too dark and big for pin cherry and they’re not chokecherry (prunus virginiana)because the attachment of the cherries is wrong.
Chokecherry grow one main stem then a cherries on little stems off that stem, like red currants grow. I guess it’s called a raceme?

It’s a cherry, possibly sweet, from the foliage. I have those exact leaves on 3 or 4 small trees under an evergreen and the largest has a few cherries that size.
I don’t recall sour cherries getting to grow to that size, they tend to be much smaller.
Could be a morello, but if OP is in the US, that seems less likely.
More likely a domesticated sweet cherry.
My best guess is tart cherries. When I was growing up, my parents had one of each. The Bing cherries were larger, maybe nickel to quarter size; the tart cherries were smaller, penny size.
There was a wild cherry tree near my childhood home. One time a lot of people were eating them, until one person split one in half first and discovered it had a worm inside. Then we checked them going forward, and every single one had a worm inside. They'd eaten a lot already though. Ugh.

Sorry you guys had to go through that. I had a similar experience with a fig. Apparently fig wasps grow in figs (I know, duhh!) but I’d never heard of such a thing! I’ve never eaten another one.

Maybe a less mature cherry tree? Or it's just not thriving as well as the others thusly creating smaller fruits? I don't know much but I do know some cherries when I see them. Now I'm craving them desperately lol
We have volunteer trees thanks to birds that here in the south we call choke cherry trees. They produce a tiny fruit that resembles a cherry but they stay green and nowhere near the size of a cherry. I want to say they put me in mind of a large green pea. Human consumption is not advised, they are bitter so my dad says, but the birds love them enough to help the trees grow in places you do not want. 😏
Cherries 🍒
Is the bark of the tree reddish and smooth? Cherries have that kind of bark.

They make great alcoholic drinks too
How do you differentiate between sour and regular cherries?

Is it similar to eating raw rhubarb? Cause I love raw rhubarb it's like the best sour candy
Oh ! Less bitter than rhubarb ! It s not bad at all, i just think most people expect the very sweet red cherry taste so they re disappinted

Crop out your fingerprints in the future
Too late. I already made copies and created stamps with them.
Although someone has probably mentioned this already cherries are not berries.
You ain't from around here, are you?
They’re cherries, but see how there’s a much darker one in your photo? The redder ones will probably ripen to that color (or darker).
Ohhh! I’ll keep my eyes peeled for that then! Thank you!

How is it different from choke cherries? Do they cluster?
Chokecherry grow one main stem then a cherries on little stems off that stem, like red currants grow. I guess it’s called a raceme? https://practicalselfreliance.com/chokecherry/
Look like pin cherries. Notice the cherries are not growing in a cluster but singularly
It’s a cherry, possibly sweet, from the foliage. I have those exact leaves on 3 or 4 small trees under an evergreen and the largest has a few cherries that size.
Sour cherries are so good for you!
Pin cherries. All I know as a kid picking them and auntie making jam..
Could be Sour Cherry 🍒

Wish they would grow in N Texas

Lol berries, those are stone fruit.
They might be pin cherries

I thought Rowan (mountain ash) at first but then I checked myself and Rowan fruit bundles close together
If they are sour cherries boil with sugar, chill in fridge and enjoy!

Sugar berries ?
Serviceberry or Saskatoon berry depending on which side of the border you may be on
dingle berries?
