My grandpa found the tree growing at his new house. The tree is about 17ft high. He says that the leaves remind him of locust leaves. The heart-shaped seed pods are seperated into three sections with three round, black seeds in each pod. Sorry about the crappy picture quality, all I have is an old point-and-shoot camera and some crappy photography skills.

They are links to files on your own harddisk (C:), not on the internet.

khoomeizhi, I did a google search on yellowhorn and it's not it. Beautiful tree though. The pods are more like brown, papery husks. By the way the pods are attached to the stem I would say that they were "pendulous." (don't know if that's the right word or not..) Kind of like the branches on a weeping willow. I'll see if I can get the pictures up. I'm not really a computer literate person.

I know what tree you are talking about, but damned if I can remember what it is called. People always told me it was Japanese Lacquer Tree, excet I just looked thaut up and it is a different tree. Little pods that look sort of like three sided lanterns (bit like love in a puff pods, but longer and more angular)If no one else has figured it out by the first of the year I can try and check when I got to Flushing (there is a sculpture of the branches on a wall I pass by, and if I recall the name is written there)

Yes! I think you've got it! Except for I really don't know how those could remind my grandpa of locust leaves. Same leaf arrangement I guess. Thanks blueadzuki and khoomeizhi! Hopefully I'll be able to get some saplings out of these.

Now that I see a photo, I think they're growing across the street.
