Help me identify this plant - calling all US 🇺🇸 users! Does anyone know what this tree/shrub is please? There were lots at the entrance of the magic kingdom!! They are covered in seed pods at the moment. Thank you!

The seed pods remind me of a catalpa tree, but the leaves throw me off. Catalpa leaves are huge-dinner plate sized.

Thank you @yepitsdevon816 it does look similar. The trees didn't have many leaves at all so I presume it is deciduous and just budding up? Although would it have such seasons in Florida?

Hi @Leroybe it certainly does look like the pea tree when I zoom into the leaves. Thank you! Will try to get a closer picture over the next few days though.

@David We have some #Poinciana trees here in the Caribbean#Jamaica that produces lovely blooms and later on large seed pods like the ones shown here.Some of them grow into large trees while others are Dwarfed. Another guess is that it could very well be the #Morenga plant. This is a medicinal plant.
