Joe and others,

Thank you all for your help.  A friend pointed out that's probably a Golden Raintree (Koelreuteria paniculata).  I looked up pictures on the net that he recommended (http://www.cnr.vt.edu/dendro/dendrology/syllabus/factsheet.cfm?ID=296
) and it looks like a good match.

Another web site says this plant yields 100-200 kg/ha when there are very few other blooms for bees to forage.  Definitely, a good choice for the ornamental suburban garden/yard.

Regards,

Waldemar
