Sorry, didn't think to take better pictures at the time. I don't see it in my native trees of Canada book. Pods are about 4 in. with about a dozen seeds. Any help would be appreciated.
Welcome to UBC forums! Looks like Robinia pseudoacacia. ROBINIA pseudoacacia - Google Search May I suggest that you also take pics to show the leaves. That is probably more important than what the pods look like. The link below shows a single leaf. http://www.namethatplant.net/Images/ImagesFire/s0/s040429_c.jpg robinia pseudoacacia leaves - Google Search
