Leif
I agree that your plant is a Cherry (Prunus), though what variety/species is very difficult to say without seeing flowers and/or a mature tree.

I'm hesitant to disagree with Dorts, but it looks to me to have opposite leaves, and veins which curve round parallel to the leaf margin, and there are no cherry glands on the petiole. As the leaves are toothed I'd suggest that this is (Purging) Buckthorn Rhamnus catharticus. |

Like Leifus, I did consider Buckthorn but wasnt completely convinced.
But a good second look often solves the problem, and I am happy to go along with your suggestion of Buckthorn - Ramnus cathartiica.
Thanks.
