Unknown Tree with Pine-Needle Leaves and Yellow Stem-Hugging Flowers

A tree with soft, pine-needle-like leaves and clusters of yellow flowers hugging the stem needs ID. Location unknown.

Possible Candidates

• Goldenraintree (Koelreuteria paniculata) – but leaves are compound, not needle-like.
• Winter jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum) – vine/shrub, not tree.
• Some Acacia or Mimosa – feathery leaves, yellow flowers.
• Honeylocust (Gleditsia) – fine leaflets, but flowers inconspicuous.

How to Get ID

Email clear photos of leaves, flowers, bark, and whole tree to jimhyland@yahoo.com with your geographic location. Visuals are essential for accurate identification.
