Looks like a Laburnum: trifoliate leaves and fruit in pods. If it is all parts of the plant are poisonous. There are two species, and their hybrid, which are widely planted in Britain and some certainly set seed. |

Seed pods are poisonous, if I remember right I think most of this tree is poisonous. It's really attractive when it's in flower. Didn't know it was good to carve.

seen penny whistles made out of willow, amazing way it was done ,cut a peice then tap around it to slip the bark off,then carve a mouthpiece out of the naked stick,put that into the bark tube then cut the holes in it ...remarkable!!!
