I can not, for the life of me, identify what kind of tree this is based on the seeds. Google photos sent me to worm photos so that didn't help 😂
Ohio zone 6. The biggest tree is probably 70 feet tall, the one in the photo is maybe 40. I was under the impression it was a tree of heaven based on the leaf pattern and little white blooms littering EVERYWHERE earlier in the year but now am not so certain. Sorry I didn't take photos when the tree was green 🙁
I want it taken down if its tree of heaven and invasive, but it's in our neighbors yard and I'm sure that will require negotiation. If it's native will be keeping it obviously!
Thanks in advance for the help 🙏

It’s a coniferous tree. Looks like a white spruce to me.
Can you get a picture of the bark? Toh has fairly distinctive bark.
Northern Catalpa???
That’s my guess based upon your description of flowering.
This is Japanese pagoda tree, Styphnolobium japonicum, aka Sophora japonica (its older and generally better-known scientific name): https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/styphnolobium-japonicum/.
Not known to be invasive but not really the showiest tree and, I would suspect, not of any notable value to wildlife.
This has been solved. Believed to be Japanese Pagoda tree. Thank you!
