Cigar Tree

Can grow to be 90' in height and is usually taller than it is wide.  Leaves are 6"-12" in length and have a hairy underside.  The seed pods, or capsules, are 8" to 20" long, and 1/2" to 3/4" thick in the middle, somewhat resembling a skinny cigar shape (hence the name).  The bark of this tree is thick and furrowed.
