| I have been waiting for this large shrub to flower for a few months now to try for an ID. It's about to burst into masses of flowers. There are a few early ones already open and to my surprise they were a very pretty pink instead of yellow like I was expecting. The flowers are quite large for pea-type flowers being about the same size as sweetpea flowers.
The tree is about 10-15ft tall and easily as wide. It's in a neglected part of the garden right now that I have not got to yet and from what I've seen it has had nothing done to it to shape it. My guess is that with a little effort it could be really nice. The only pruning it gets now is from next door's sheep through the fence.
It gets hairy pea-type pods typical of legumes.
And has slightly hairy leaves.
Anyone know what it might be? It reminds me of something we used to call rattlepod as kids (cept they were yellow) because the seeds in the dried pods would rattle when shaken.
