K. bipinnata "Chinese flame tree", I will guess, from the lantern color. Looks less likeK. paniculata "Golden rain tree". Missed the flowers to be sure, though.
All of these Koelreuterias show three-symmetric fruit, and I had it in my head that mine were five-symmetric. Were they really? The pictures I posted don't show directly. But on, say, the top one -- we see three flange-edges, and it must have at least one more hidden behind, touching down to cast that shadow. Hmm.
