Your talking about Catalpa trees............we get catalpa worms off these for fish bait. They have huge green pods that look like beans hanging from them

Honey Locust trees have pods that are several inches long and they are eaten by cattle.
But the one my Dad always talked about was the Mesquite pods. Like locust it is fragrant, drought tolerant, & has fine foliage hiding tough thorns.
Locust have deeply scored bark. Mesquite are often multitrunked and look ferny.

There's several, but the one that I think of the most that are in my grandmother's front yard in Henderson are mimosa trees, pink blooms, attracts hummingbirds and swallowtail butterflies.
