Hi Everyone,
I have recently joined this group. I am delighted to read the information already available on this group and am thankful to all who have made this possible.

I have a question:
How to distinguish Albizia lebbeck (Siris) from Leucaena leucocephala  (Subabhul) in sapling/young plants (no flowers or fruits available to tell them apart)?

I have a 2 year old sapling in a pot which I think is Albizia lebbeck as I remember planting the seeds but am not entirely sure. I read that
Leucaena leucocephala is an invasive species so want to be sure before planting the sapling in field.

Will be glad to learn.

Thanks in advance.

regards,
Ruta

Yeah, you're right; both pics. belongs to Leucaena only.

With kind regards.
