Sheldon's Mystery Tree

I wish I could.  By the time I remembered that I didn't have any foliage pictures, they had all fallen off for the winter.  It will be late Spring before there are any mature leaves on it.  Hopefully, I'll have my act back together by then!  In the meantime, I've scribbled down an abbreviated drawing of a single leaf and scanned it into my computer.  Here's hoping both pics attach well.

I missed photos of the foliage, but some double pinnate compound leaves are Fraxinus, Gymnocladus, I'll have to go back to my Woody identification notes for this one....post photo of foliage again?

Thanks for your response, Elizabeth.  I was hoping myself that it might be an extra-hardy Delonix, but the leaflets are wrong.  All of the Delonix pictures I've seen have a very small, mimosa-type of leaflets.  My tree has leaflets that are about 3" long by 1" wide and pointed on both ends.  I really should have taken a picture of a single entire leaf before they all fell off.  I'll try harder next year!!

I'm attaching (I hope) a picture of the tree trunk.  I think the pattern of the bark is interesting.

Thanks again.

Just off the top of my head, Royal Poinciana (Delonix regia) comes in as a rather likely candidate. Huge double-compound pinnate leaves, ridged bark, and gorgeous red-orange flower clusters.
