Help: is this actually the cherry blossom tree I bought? was created by DllPrsnce

Hey everyone! This is kinda gonna be a weird request but I'm honestly having doubts and I would like to check something.So, I bought a cherry blossom bonsai tree set and planted it, and I was pleasantly surprised to see it sprout. At the same time, the more I look at it, the less and less it looks like a cherry blossom tree (though, of course, I can't say for certain) from what I've found online.I bought these a couple of weeks ago and they sprouted very early on, and I'm starting to think that it might not be a cherry blossom tree and instead be just a weed or something. I know it's probably waayyy too early to tell what sort of a plant this is, but I thought I might as well make a shot.So, in view of all of this, I just wanted to see if I can get an ID on whether or not this is the cherry blossom tree or just some sort of weed.Thank you!

I have never grown cherry from seeds, so cannot say 100% sure. But it certanly look like compound leafs, cherries don't have compound leafs.
My best guess is that this is something from the pea family.
When buying seeds, go to reputable seed sellers and avoid anything marked as bonsai seeds. Selling bonsai seeds is aa scam. The step from selling bonsai seeds sell wrong species is short. The line of disshonesty is already crossed.

It is also possible that it is not the seed that you sowed but a weed seed that was in the soil. I would be very surprised if a Cherry seed germinated in such a short time.?
In stead of wasting money on seed why not buy a plant then you know what it is. Growing from seed is very slow and takes many years to produce a tree let alone bonsai.
