this tree is pseudo-acacia. it was may at the time. late in the month the tree rapidly grows leaves and flower blooms and the scent floats in many places of the town. i like the smell, and love the season this smell is in the air, as it is the season of the year where the temperature is most pleasant. but the town seems to be now in pampaign of cutting down as many of this tree as possible all across the town, as it is originally an alien species to this place, plus nasty worms from it.
