I have come across this tree recently.
Just cant remember the name of it.
Almost looks like a Robinia but no thorns and has white flowers.
Will get pics if needed.

Need pics of the tree and the flowers, if possible. They have developed thornless varieties of Honey Locust, could the same apply to Robinia?

Gleditsia tricanthos is similar, unless you are thinking of one with similar sized leaves to a Robinia pseudoacacia. Really need pics because theres no enough info provided.

The leaves are the same size, shape and arrangement as Robinia.
Flowers are a white panicle, Robinia has a pendulous raceme.
It has been planted as a street tree in some of the older suburbs.
I cant find the cable for the phone so images are stuck in there for now.

Possibly Sophora japonica(now Styphnolobium japonicum), Pagoda Tree or Japanese Scholar Tree.

Great, thanks Steve.
Now I can look it up to check, thanks.
