What type of tree is growing in my backyard?

Asked by PhiNotPi (12681points) March 21st, 2012

There is a mysterious tree in my backyard that has generated seed pods. The seed pods are about five inches long, one inch wide, maybe ½ of an inch thick, and are teardrop-shaped. They have dried out and split in half. They each contain one or two round, black seeds about the size of a penny. The pod itself is brown on the outside and light brown on the inside.

As for other information, the tree has a purple bloom. I live in South Carolina.

What is this tree?
