This is a Spring flowering tree, which throws up more branches from the base. The flowers are a mass of tiny star-like and white. Leaves are mid green and mat, ranging from 2.5 x 2" to 4 x 2.5 coming to a fine point, and arranged opposite on the stem. The seed pods are very unusual, the largest being very pale green paper-thin pods about 2"x 2.5" in 3 segments, in balloon style! one small ball seed inside.

Have you got a photo?
Possibly a Staphylea, Bladder Nut of one sort or another. Image would help.
Yes , I have 3 photos, but can't seem to upload them onto this site. I don't have any problem normally, with emails or other sites. Perhaps the images are too big? Help!

Jill, try clicking on the green tree icon on the toolbar above where you type your post, and follow the instructions ... fingers crossed.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I have done that about 6 times. I finally reduced the size of the photo, but it still says error, false .....
This site has the problem, as I have no difficulty uploading photos anywhere-else!
Thanks to EDD for explaining how to overcome the glitch!
Here is the first of 3 photos. The seed heads.

2 other photos of the flowers available if this one is successful. Jill
Next photo---
Some form of fraxinus?
I will search and see. Thanks for the suggestion

I think it's one of the Staphyleas, maybe trifolia. HCA suggested one of those before the pics arrived
