Kentucky Coffeetree

Kentucky Coffeetree
Gymnocladus dioicus

 You seldom see the flower of the Kentucky Coffeetree since they're high in the tree.  Look for them in May/June when the tree is leafing out.

Kentucky Coffeetree is a legume, same as clover, redbud, locust, and soybeans.  Part of the evidence is the seedpods, some of which are noted below.
