Sorry Ruth. As a general rule we are dedicated to mapping plants and animals that are "wild". So we don't do exotic plants from peoples' gardens unless they have become established there by themselves.| Insufficient or inconclusive evidence | MichaelBedingfield | 31 Dec 2018 | |

Albizia julibrissin (Persian Silk Tree) Fabaceae. Not listed in CNM? Lovely wide canopy. Usually severely affected by borers.

There are several such trees in gardens in Hughes all about the same age (decades). I think they were all planted. I have not seen a weedy specimen in a garden or in Hughes Garran Woodland. They could be 30-40 or more years old. They just seem to keep ticking over. Reasonably healthy trees when in flower, are really beautiful.
