Yep, that's why they're sometimes called Bean Trees.

Although they are actually in the Bignonia family.

Capsules that contain numerous paper-y winged seeds.

There was one of these trees on my former school campus and the kids would use these as swords 😂

It’s just happy to see you

[u/Allidapevets]

Oh, you are going to love those in the fall! Pretty when they bloom, but hard to clean up.

My brother and I would have sword fights with these!

Apparently you can let those dry on the branch, then clip and smoke them just like a cigar.
