    Probably a Robinia pseudoacacia Frisia
    Prefers to be sheltered... I planted one last spring and it grew loads in the season but was battered by the winds in early september and it split....
    They will look misreable when you go to buy one in the winter/spring, just a main stem really and a few branches.... try to shelter from strong winds and heavy frosts too.

    If it's not a robinia it could be a gleditsia sunburst
