The tree you are describing sounds like the Honey Locust (Gleditsia triacanthos). It is known for its large thorns on the branches, compound leaves that resemble those of sumac, and can grow to be over 60 feet tall.
There are many different types of locusts with different genera and species. The genus Schistocerca includes the American locust(species Americana) and the desert locust(species gregaria). Some other locusts are the Locusta migratoria(migratory locust) , Nomadracis septemfasciata(red locust), and Locustana pardalina(brown locust).
Some trees that have thorns include honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), and hawthorn (Crataegus spp.). Thorns help protect the tree from herbivores and other threats.

The locust tree that does not produce beans is the black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia). Unlike other species in the locust family, such as the honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos), which produces seed pods, the black locust primarily produces flowers and small fruits that are not bean-like. Its absence of bean-like pods distinguishes it from its relatives.
