Cladrastis kentukea

A broadly spreading tree grown for its unusual pendant, intensely fragrant, white pea-like flowers in spring or early summer and bright yellow foliage in autumn. Flowers give way to flat, brown seed pods. Excellent in an open, but not exposed position. Prune only in summer as cuts made in winter or spring may bleed considerably. Hardy. A deep rooting species which is unlikely to cause problems with drains or foundations.
