I don't usually do western IDs, but I would say Prunus emarginata, (aka bitter cherry). Check it out and let me know.
 
Chokecherry. I'm usually wrong.
I hope so! But I doubt it, it don’t look like the Canadian chokecherry I planted.
 
What ever it is ……..it’s tough and deer don’t lIke it.
 
Juneberry (shadbush) ?
 
I have seen swallow tailed butterflies so it just might be bitter cherry.

but it’s extremely drought tolerant?

With a bit of a point on the fruit reminds me of nannyberry but not sure how far west they go. Common in MN and WI
 
Picturethis says chokecherry on the 2 pics I tried.

It looks pretty similar to the choke cherries we have in MN.
 
I used to pick chock cherry when I was younger in Nebraska with my grandma……

I ain’t picked these…..

I lived here for 10 years….
