This is one I just never forgot after learning.

Fairly unique I suppose...

Gleditsia tricanthos?

Sorry for spelling.

 

[RopeShield]

Wild guess. Sophora japonica

 

[robinia]

you're both in the right family.

 

[tomthetreeman]

Cladrastis kentukea/lutea?

 

[robinia]

That's the one.

Nope! Hint. I took this image where I live. we are in Zone 3. That limits things a LOT!
