This tree has great blooms. They look fairly large and with them in the long clusters, it must be really beautiful in may. Thanks for sharing it.

You're welcome.
Yes, the bloom racemes are up to 2 foot long, attracting lots of bees. Some folks have tried to get seedlings from the seeds without success. I have not tried it because I have no more room to plant trees.
The wood inside the trunk is very yellow, giving it the common name.
