a couple of weeks ago I was bragging about some wood my son brought home in this thread. http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=43766
I am trying to identify the species and he finaly brought me some leaves and some of the sead pods from the tree last night. Here's some picture, maye someone out there can identify it. He says that there a lot of it where he works up in Scotdale. I haven't seen it around here.

One thing I know is it ain't Mesquite.

Looks like Austrailian Bottle tree. When I lived in the valley, my next door neighbor had one and all the leaves used to blow into my garage.

Thanks Sean, I took it to a nursery this morning and the gal at the nursery confirmed that it is an Australian Bottle tree.
