The seed pods look like lespadeza, a vine used for eosion control.
The second pic is sumac. I think you can make a "lemonade" type drink from the fruit
The last pic is the fruit of a Bradford pear. It is probably edible but not palatible.

I have to correct myself. The seed pods are Crown Vetch and not lespadeza. It is a vine. Both are used for erosion control and both are legumes.

sumac will make a lemonade like drink. I like to boil those berry pods in late summer and make a marinade for catfish fillets, with a little salt, pepper and garlic.... broiled or baked, it comes out tasting fine!

I been drinking sumac lemonade all week and it tastes great especially since its been hotter than any summer I can remember lately. You don't see white sumac/poison sumac too much around where I live as a matter of fact you dont see too much red sumac around here either.
