Could it be a Catalpa tree??

Google sycamore tree

I posted a link below to a USDA info page and YouTube video.

Long bean like things?

His name is Howard.

in the Foxglove Tree family. It can also be known as Royal Paulownia, Empress tree , Kiri tree or Imperials tree. It is an invasive species apparently. It came to the US in the 1800’s as an ornamental. Does yours have a lilac colored bloom in the spring?

I've only lived here a few months, so will have to see if it blooms next year. I think it is a Foxglove or Princess tree. A younger one based on leaf size.

Thanks.

It's free.

Had one of those that free grew in my front yard. Had someone who knew horticulture tell me it was a catalpa. Looked just this! If you get up one day and find all the leaves gone, it was a catalpa with catalpa bugs. They cleaned my entire tree in a single night.

it is not Catalpa as they have beautiful flowers and long pods that have seeds that you can shake like a rattle.

and when the catalpa bugs hit the tree, even the pods were gone. I'd never seen a tree go bare so fast!! I would like to have one again at the house I'm in now. But they're aren't any free growing ones around here. We had a creek and "forest space" across the street from us in the old house. We got a LOT of different free-growing trees and plants as the winds blew the seeds into our yard. We don't have that here.

And believe me, if I went down and bought one to plant, it would die within a week or less. I have THAT much of a black thumb! (LOL)
