Gymnocladus (Neo-Latin, from Greek γυμνὀς, gymnos, naked + κλάδος, klados, branch)[2] is a small genus of leguminous trees.

[3] It includes six species native to eastern North America and southeastern Asia.

[1] Gymnocladus species are very large, deciduous trees with bipinnate leaves.

The greenish-white flowers only appear after long periods of warm weather.

Very long legumes are formed that hang from the branches.
