What kind of tree is this

[Eigenvector]

I know this isn't a binary group, so I'll post the image as a link

told me that this was a birch, but for some reason I thought Birch trees didn't look like this. By the way I took this photo about 3 weeks ago, the leaves aren't that much bigger now. I posted a down low shot due to the fact the tree is pretty busted up and I'd say dead. This is the prettiest angle I could get of it.

BTW: This might be a double post for some, I accidentially sent it to rec.woodworking - not sure if that qualifies as a Freudian slip given the topic.

No flowers yet, it does produce some small white flowers around this time, may not have bloomed yet our winter was a little more harsh than normal.

Then it's definitely not a birch; birches have catkins, with very small greenish flowers.

Then it could very well be a plum. I hadn't even considered that this tree might be a fruit treee, although I highly doubt it produces anything.
