Who says Sophora japonica is a deciduous tree?

Sophora japonica and Sophora japonica are both called locust trees, and they are deciduous trees (are they "withered" as you said). Adult trees will bear fruit. When the leaves fall, the pods, fleshy (cowpea-like) and beads of Sophora japonica don't fall off or crack, and they still hang on the tree when they germinate the next year. When acacia pods are flat (bean-shaped), most of them crack and fall to the ground, and a small amount still hangs on the tree.
