I looked up a picture of the Texas ebony and the pods do not look the same. In the picture the shape of the tree was right but the pods where not. The pods are longer more like a stove pipe and flater and straight with no signs of beans but that could be because they were old and dry, in fact I saw no seeds at all and planted the pieces of the dry broken pods. I'll keep watching the leaves just in case I'm wrong. Thank you Paul

Looks like Carya cordiformis. Two things to look for would be alternate leaf arrangement and yellow winter buds.

Hi Sam, that is a nice pic of your Magnolia and Franklinia seeds. My seeds look very similar to yours although there is a slight difference in the M. grandiflora seed shape, although yours look a bit more dried out and personally I would not know the difference between the species anyway. Yes there is some fungus on the outside of the Magnolia seed pod, apparently it was not really dried out thoroughly. I broke open the pod and got the red seed you can see above, and the seed seems very healthy. Do you think that fungus is a problem? Here is the Franklinia seeds -

Don't I feel stupid now! Babying a weed for the last couple of months. Oh well, back to the drawing board. A very nice lady (horticulturalist from Penn State University) has also concluded that the "weed" is a Paulownia. At first, she too suspected it was a velvet leaf. And wow, what a wealth of information you folks have been. Thanks for taking time in your day to help me out by responding. Like I mentioned, I have a tree in my yard with seed pods on it, is it to early to try to germinate them? Shall I wait till the fall? Any tips or advice? Would it be easier to take a cutting and try from there with rooting powder? I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your time and let you know its greatly appreciated!

It would be very helpful to know the size of the pod. I don't believe it to be from wisteria, which always have a twist to them after they open explosively, sending the seeds in every direction.

The pod is roughly 7" in length and was cut open for the picture - seeds are about 3/4" in diameter. In the area where this pod was retrieved, there are many open pods that are definitely twisted.

At 7" it isn't Redbud. I'd say Wisteria. Is the outside of the pod slightly velvety?

Said that the seed pods are velvety.

I'm skeptical about the velvety remark. He said slightly when asked that specific question and didn't include it in his original description. Could be some mold growth giving that appearance

I would ask him to check again but he may not want to be grilled and I want to be amicable.

The round seeds are more indicative of Wisteria. Gleditsia are more oval, bean-ish looking.
