Help with Tree ID, Please? Maybe a nut or ?

16 years ago

A couple of years ago, this tree started growing right next to a Magnolia in our yard and it hasn't done anything up until maybe two weeks ago when it flowered. The bees were everywhere! Which I thought was odd in itself.

The flowers have fallen away and in their place are little round pods, which I thought were flower buds at first. I opened one up and it looks like a nut inside. If it helps at all, the inside of the pods smell exactly like raw peanuts. Which is why I'm somewhat led to think it may be some sort of nut tree.

Can someone please help me to identify this tree? Thanks in advance.

I live in NE Florida, in between Jacksonville and Gainesville.

Link to photos of tree, "nut" and dead flowers are below. Sorry for some of the bad pictures, bad camera.
