You probably have some kind of legume, maybe a honeylocust. If you have any digital photos of the tree's leaves, you can send them to the Plant Clinic at the Morton Arboretum via email. The email address is plantclinic@mortonarb.org. We'll see if we can identify it for you. I agree with Chris. You probably have some kind of legume, maybe a honeylocust.

The longest seed pods are Locusts but there are also Kentucky Coffee Trees. One of these might be what you are talking about. Other legumes are Redbuds, Yellowwoods and Mimosa. They are related to clover, peas, peanuts, lupins, etc. They all fix nitrogen. Trees with seed pods like you are describing sound like legumes.
