Call me stubborn (or worse!
), Standard, but those to me look very different - the leaf of the cherry sucker is larger near the stem, whereas the hazel is larger near the point (and it's rounder). To my eyes the hazel you posted looks a lot like the pic of the op. 0 -

I wouldn't dare!
Pics are merely to show the similarities between the two. I was pretty convinced earlier by the op's second pic that it was indeed hazel but there are definitely differences between it and the hazel leaf I posted.0 -

Maybe Crisco's isn't a contorted hazel, but just a "normal" one. It definitely looks different to the cherry leaf you posted (even ignoring everything else, it's much different colour-wise).
(And don't worry, I've been called much worse!

I'm with you on this, New Home, first one definitely cherry and other one hazel! Leaves are very different.0 -

\o/ Nutella tree!!
Just to confuse matters further, I have all three: A Hazel producing nuts, numerous Wild Cherries, and the tree pictured in the OP. A botanist informed that the tree pictured is a Hazel but not one that I will ever get nuts from. When I moved in it was about three metres high with a bole of about 30cm. I cut it to the ground and now it produces a cluster of shoots from the base every year that look really nice. At the end of the season I cut it back again. Looking at the pic, however, the OP's tree looks like it is growing beneath a wall so best pulled IMO. I'll post a pic shortly.0 -

If it's any consolation, I know of people who had an alpaca farm who told foreign tourists who were asking about the animals that they were cow-sheep. :rolleyes: (they do say "moo", but with a question mark, so it sounds more like a "moo?") 0
No-Nutella tree.
