Jeez, I really just don't know. It looks like it might be compound-leaved though, judging by the old petiole in the bottom left? It looks sort of familiar... Is it a shrub?

 

[RopeShield]

I have never seen one bigger than about 10' in the Glen Niagara Falls.
I think it will top out 20' or so further south.

The fruit is a give away and yes to compound leaf.

I collected the seeds/fruit if a pic is ok I will post.

 

[robinia]

Yeah, I for one could use a pic of the fruit...

 

[RopeShield]

Pic of fruit will give it away.
Here is the fruit

Rarity here in Cambridge.

You're up!

 

[trees4ever]

Yeah, that's a nice one.


I just came on the Buzz last night to wind down

This has become our 'year without a winter' so it has been work non-stop.

I can't offer anything so the floor is open.
