No Clue

[RGus]

I am in southern Florida on the East Coast. This is a smaller tree, I am not sure if it gets big or not. It is the only one I have seen.

A photo of the leafs.

Probably the most characteristic thing about the tree is the seed pod.

And a shot of the whole tree.

Any one have a clue? I know I dont.

I'm trying Ryan

, no luck yet.

What sucks, is I've seen it before, looking up other trees.

<---this will help

The leaf attachment looks like a yellowwood (Cladrastis kentuckea). So does the bark. Not sure that this tree would grow in Florida...however, your tree is probably in the Fabaceae (Leguminoceae), by the seed pods.

 

[treebing]

doesn't it look like the brachychiton populneus that leon mentions in nicks thread?

 

[treebing]

those dont look like pea pods to me. They almost look like milkweed pods.
