Hi

I have a tree starting to grow up in my front yard, and i am not sure if it is worth it let it grow or I need to remove it.

The tree is now about 2 to 3 months old.

Thanks in advance.

Any chance you can post pictures of the leaves? The vein structures are helpful for ID. Also, if the tree has developed any bark, that can sometimes be helpful even on saplings.

Plus knowing roughly where in the world you live would be helpful.

i saw a number of these in passing on a drive through south carolina last month…unfortunately, i didn’t get a chance to look more closely. i think they might actually be an herbaceous plant that dies back every year, whether annual or perennial, as they seem to have flower or seed pod structures on them, but also fresh green stems. again, i haven’t looked closely to know for sure.

close up pics of various parts would definitely help an ID.

Looks like a leguminous tree. I can see pods and something that looks like a locust leaves.

Cargo bikes are cool

Hi Bob and welcome to Permies!

I think Greg and Edward are on the right track. That looks leguminous to me as well. Are those yellow flowers I see? It's hard to tell from the picture. A close up of leaves that shows their shape and arrangement can be super helpful for identification. Flowers and/or seed pod pictures help tons too.

Could it be Wild Senna? https://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/savanna/plants/wild_senna.htm

Yes, I was going to suggest some kind of senna too, but I've never seen one with red flowers.

Search for Sesbania punicea and see if the leaf size is right. https://www.plant-world-seeds.com/store/view_seed_item/2165

Thanks for the update with new pictures.

My guess is Sesbania vesicaria, commonly known as the bagpod or bladder pod.

Here are some photos

I use the "PlantSnap" App on my phone for this type of stuff. It's great. And if it is wrong, it usually gives me a good starting point for further investigation.
