Most likely it is a Catalpa tree. It would have had big clusters of white flowers tinged pink on the edges during the summer if so. The beans aren't edible, so don't bother trying. They are merely seed pods, there are no beans in them.

The long green bean thing makes it sound like the Indian bean tree from North America - Catalpa Bignoides. The leaves are heart shaped? If you do an image search on Google and type in the above name you should see your tree.

Finally! I have been looking for at least 30 min. It is the Northern catalpa or its real name is catalpa speciosa but we just called it the greenbean tree since I was a kid!I had no idea there were so many types of the tree! I played with them and wove the large leaves with their stems into skirts like Jane in the Tarzan movies wore! I would snap the beans and have a pretend meal.Leaves became plates and stems were the forks! I had an imaginaltion and lived on a farm. I was the youngest and played alone a lot until I got to go to school. Thanks for bringing back some great memories!

Definitely something in the Leguminosae or Fabaceae... that is the Bean Family.. I agree that it coud be a catalpa (Catalpa bignoinioides).. could also even be a wisteria (could be growing in a tree form)... there are many leguminous plants, but check with ome of your answers here...

Here's some info on that Family

between the quickest turning out to be trees is the Pawlonia (or paulonia) tomentosa.. each so often bought as Saphire Dragon right here. Has great velvety leaves, observed by utilising long branching saphire blue flower spikes in spring. Tolerates temperatures properly under freezing into the intense warmth. Drops leaves in iciness, yet they make a great mulch for the backyard as they decompose straight away

if it has narrow long leaves it may be a chitalpa. If the leaves are very large it may be a catalpa. The chitalpa is a cross between a desert willow and a catalpa

And then do the pods turn dark brown later in the year, and each twig has many medium to small leaves on it? And the leaves turn yellow in the fall, no other color? I'm guessing it's a locust tree.
