I would guess that the "pods" are in fact figs. Sounds like it was a
Strangler Fig (which is also called Banyan or Ficus) tree. We have a lot of
great exotic woods available down here in Florida. We also have a some
trees that don't make anybody's "want to turn" list. It will be interesting
to hear how you do with it............

At least you didn't lug back any australian pine (aka Ironwood).

After it flowers it drops round yellow pods and creates a mess on her
driveway.
