Any ideas.
It seems to be evergreen, the seed capsule/pods stay on all year till the spring. I seem to remember the flowers be pea like, but I cannot remember if they were yellow or pink. Its growing as a tree about 10ft tall. www.gb-online.co.uk/dump/plant1.jpg |

As for as the exact species/variety, the pictures on wikipedia aren't very helpful. Precisely the same picture is labelled as S. tetraptera on one page and S. microphylla on another. S. microphylla is the most common in cultivation, but there are also hybrids in cultivation, and in the wild, I suspect. S. macrocarpa from Chile is also found in cultivation, and is fairly similar. |

Indigofera doesn't have seedpods like that.

Its growing as a tree about 10ft tall. www.gb-online.co.uk/dump/plant1.jpg I would guess it is Sophora of some kind. The seed pods are very similar to those on my Sophora tetraptera at home, but the leaflets on yours are larger than on mine. Mine is also inclined to defoliate somewhat in midwinter.

I sort of agree. I'm not sure it's S. microphylla because the seed pods were too large. I'm growing some Sophora and am happy to hear that yours sheds its leaves in midwinter. So I can stop worrying now. s. |
