As you've been spot-on with a couple of other plant I.D. questions I've
had, I thought I'd give you another try. I got this "shrub" as a
freebie a
few years ago, from memory (poor at the best of times) I thought it was
a
minature mimosa but when I look that up on "tinternet" it looks nothing
like the photo's, I know mimosas have folding leaves but just thought
it
was a different type. i suspect also that it doesn't like the soil type
in
my garden (alkaline,chalky/flint) as some of the leaves go yellow, any
ideas?

and Magnolia mixed up!!
