This was sold as a Japanese Cherry tree but my plant app and google image search give mixed results. The little frond-like things in the second pic make me hesitate because I don't see them in pictures online.

Those are stipules, typical for *Prunus serrulata* and similar species, hybrids and cultivars.
‘Japanese Cherry’ covers a number of species and hundreds of cultivars.
I do believe this plant is legit Japanese cherry tree, see this link:

although it is called Japanese cherry, it is all over south east Asia including Japan, China, Korea, etc.
Prunus species also have those nectar glands near the base of the leaf
