    Cherry was my first thought. Whether it's from a discarded pip or a proper grafted tree - you'll have to look for a graft near to the ground.
    If it's not grafted, bin it - otherwise it will grow far too large and you might be disappointed with the fruit if/when it fruits. Fruit trees grown from pips are usually inferior to the well-known varieties. Only the occasional seedling is good enough to be launched as a new variety. Consider that research stations grow thousands of pips per year and only release a new variety every few years. The odds of a good seedling are low.

      Thanks for all the help, I will keep an eye on it as I walk past. I have now moved plots found out this plot floods every winter so moving to a plot which has only sat empty since March so not as much work...will see what suprises this one holds.
