ID help please unknown

Post by Jak »

Hi all,
Recently collected these from a local park,
1574
I'm not entirely sure that they are the same, but the leaves were very similar before the trunk chops.
I was thinking, Poinciana, tamarind or jacaranda? Their all so similar any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers Jak

Mate I would love too see someone get the tree in the green pot correct. My guess for the other one is a Leopard tree which I think is a Caesalpinia. I used to love growing these from seed when I was a teenager. They look like mini gum trees when they are small. The large trees are light grey with darker grey spots on the trunk. I could be way off though. Many trees have these Bi pinnate leaves when they are young. Could be a Wattle of some kind?

Hi Jak,

Your little mysteries are in the family Fabaceae, subfamily Mimosoideae, beyond that it is hard to ID from the material shown. Perhaps they are Leucaena or a Calliandra. Give them time to grow and post pictures when they have more mature shoots.

Thanks heaps for pointing me in the right direction, I'll do some research, I just needed something similar to learn growing conditions/requirements and these names were a great help. Either way i think they'll look decent in a few years :) cheers for your help greatly appreciated

I'm not much of an expert but the one infront of the green pot looks like a native black pine :lost:
