Can you use 'red bud' to smoke with?

We just took down a red bud tree (cercis canadensis) and want to know if we can use it to smoke with.  It's related to the honeylocust and wisteria.  it's a member of the pea family.

Thanks,

For a minute there I thought someone had ressurected an old thread, too. Apparently the poster from the only other red bud tree thread ever used it successfully. It is a member of the same family as the locusts and mesquite and the pea tree, not peas(as in pea soup).
