Default What is this tree with purple blossoms?

A neighbor has a tree that is about 8 ft. tall that was covered with
large purple blossoms in early spring (in S. Texas)...now the blossoms
hve gone, but there are bean pods hanging straight down that are
probably 4 in. long. Any idea what it is?


It could be redbud, paulownia, and any number of trees or shrubs. Can you
describe it better or do a search for the two I named and see if this is what
you're talking about. OR knock on the neighbors door and ask!

I have a palo verde tree in my yard and at least once a year people knock on the
door and ask what it is. In spring I now dig out any seedlings and have them
ready for when those people stop. I give them their own tree!
