Tree ID please

Any ideas? Dorset coast, 50’, spreading form, fast growing, light weight. Yellow wood when cut, but only first 1-2” under bark, light brown heartwood. See pics more info. Any help much appreciated.

Wing nut tree...?

Thank you everyone. The owners call the tree a Philodendron. But that’s not a tree, is it? The garden is full of unusual ornamental trees more typically found in grand estates. Tulip, Foxglove, Black Walnut, Paper Mulberry, Indian Bean, Cedar of Lebanon. Planting inspired (or pinched!) by the collections at nearby Abbotsbury Tropical Gardens tree collection and Kew.

That’s a good shout. Just been reading about them. The habit and speed of growth is right. This is about 40 years old. Must be 50’+ in both height and spread. 2’+ dbh of each stem. Large enough to support a primitive multi level tree house. It reminded me of Walnut. Do any Wingnut species have a yellow cut face of younger layers of wood? On larger cuts, the yellow was just the outside layers. But quite vivid yellow sawdust was produced

Could be a realative  too this one:

A 100ft TREE which began its life in 1845 has seen its final day as work began to chop it down this week.

There is a Caucasian Wingnut tree near me .  It has this kind of growth form but also has long dangling  green shanks ( separate from the leaves  which resemble large Ash leaves )  . I don't see the dangling down bits on your photo ?
