That first picture I'm fairly certain is a barberry. Ours has just popped up with berries like that this year.

Not a regular here, but these guys have been super helpful in the past. I'm thinking most of them must be off on vacation right now or something. With the exception of TNTreehugger (who is also not an expert), I can't get any answers on my thread either. :(
 
I stand corrected. I'm embarrassed to say that we were told that's what our tree was (hubby says that there was even a tag on it that said that), but as far as I can find, there is no such thing as a barberry *tree*. They're all shrubs, and their fruit sure looks different than your picture and our tree has.

Well, I'm glad someone was at least able to answer your question! Thanks, capetrees!! :)
 
The first picture is not hackberry. The fruit looks like Serviceberry, but I can't see it in the leaves of that picture.

I think your second picture may have a hackberry in it...but not great pictures. Looks like there are other trees in there too.

The last are cherry. Not enough there to say Black cherry for sure.
 
First picture is roundleaf serviceberry. Third and fourth is black cherry.
