Is this black locust? This grows in Modiin, Israel. The leaves look like black locust ( _Pseudoacacia robinia_ ) to me, but the branches are very knobby. Can anyone identify it? ![enter image description here]( ![enter image description here](

Although the photos are less than ideal, and I can't see any flowers or fruit, I can clearly see that the leaves are "evenly pinnate" and rounded distally (not pointed). The wood structure also looks bumpy. Given Israel as the neighborhood, it is likely to be a carob tree ( _Ceratonia siliqua_ ) which is native to the Mediterranean region. This tree is sometimes mistakenly called a "locust" tree. See Links below.
