Supposed to be a plum

Maybe a plum

I purchased this bush about 5 years ago when it was about a foot tall. The insert said it was a Oregon plum. It is now about four foot tall, growing in sandy soil on the north end of the deck so it is shaded from noon til about 3 pm. Blooms about the same time as the tulips with pinky white flowers about a half inch across, I think with five petals, slightly cupped. The fruit looks like a blueberry but there is only one seed and it looks like and is just a bit bigger than a tomato seed-the seed is right above the 3 3/4". Don't have much taste to them and none of the birds or animals around here eat them. Bark is reddish brown and does look like the other plum I have in the yard. Thanks for any assist you can give in identifying this bush.
