Is this a tree?

Was away for 3 weeks to look after a relative and while another relative looked after the garden with watering, I came back to find this growing out of a lawn!
Sadly, Google images search isn't helping so any idea what this could be? If it is a kind of tree, would it make sense for me to pot it?
Thank you!

I've just taken a photo of your photo and run it through the Plant.net app, which gives it a 22% chance of being a Liquorice milk-vetch. There's no other higher percentage suggestion.

Can't help identifying it, but I'd pot it up & wait & see, nothing lost and maybe a lot gained?

P'rhaps a black locust, does it have spines on it? If yeah a sort of tree (also a pea) and invasive, I think they're Canadian.

I think it's a Robinia, probably Pseudoacacia. Nice tree in the right place, ultimately very large. Most people grow the yellow leaved variety for its foliage1

Looks like robinia too me too and the right place is no where near the house they get very big quickly.2

Thank you all! I don't know where robinia came from as I don't see this type of tree anywhere close so a seed must have got dropped by a bird somewhere else.
I have removed and potted it as nothing to lose and the leaves look nice but definitely not going to plant it anywhere in the ground!

Just to report back, I dug up and potted it - within 30 minutes, the leaves started to shrivel! So I have taken a clipping and put in a water.
For now, it's a watch this space for both potted and clipped! 1 -
Wrong time of year to be moving trees. It is usually done between October and March while the tree is dormant.moneysaver1978 said:Just to report back, I dug up and potted it - within 30 minutes, the leaves started to shrivel! So I have taken a clipping and put in a water.
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Aaah so that's why... oops! Ah well, I needed to move it as it was growing on grass but lesson learned and knowledge/experience gained.FreeBear said:
