I think it’s better to wait for flowers.

I don’t think this is Albizia chinensis.


OK Thanks mam, then any idea about its species?


You have to search in Acacia, to be more precise, Senegalia rather than Albizia.  Flowers or fruits are required for confirmation.


Thanks, …, fro genus id.
Appears close to images of Senegalia torta (Roxb.) Maslin, Seigler & Ebinger as per comparative images of Senegalia species in efi.

Yes .., The leaves are identical.
