Silk tree (Albizia julibrissin): This can eventually be a tree 40 feet
high with a branch spread of 80 feet. This is a tropical or (at best) a
subtropical, damaged by frosts.

It might instead be a plume albizia (A. distachya), which is even more
tropical. This one grows to about 20 feet.

There is a variety of Albizia julibrissin which is quite cold hardy. I
live in zone 7 and they grow all over town.

Everything about it, it's fern-like leaves (the leaves close/contract
when touched), and especially those pink fluffy flowers prove it's a
mimosa tree... attractive but can be messy/invasive. Many years ago I
had a mature one growing in my front yard... I do not recommend this
tree... I were you I'd immediately pluck it.

The one I had survived Long Island, NY winters quite well. They don't
make good shade trees, at least not to sit under, the aroma from those
pom pom like flowers are excellent stinging insect bait. Some folks
like mimosa trees but I consider it a noxious weed.

I second that. They can grow, and spread, crazy fast. Something he

They may grow a lot slower up north.

Thanks. It's currently in a large pot where a bird must have dropped a seed.
When it outgrows the pot, I'll get rid of it, don't want it spreading. Maybe
I should get it out of here anyway, before it spreads it's seeds.

I'd keep it.

hi paul i think its either an Acacia 'Dealbata', or possibly a Mimosa 'Tenuiflora'..
could be wrong but its more than likely a young Acacia tree

Most likely riveted on.

If so, drill them out.
Visit hardware store and buy yourself rivet gun (more like a pair
of pliers) and some rivets. Pay attention to the size,

Seems to me replacement rubber would have come with some attachment
mechanism?

if it is the little metal caps on the
end of the rod then you can take them
off with pliers (bend them) or with a
screwdriver and hammer.

i'm sure they have some special tool
someplace to deal with these kind of
pressure connectors, but they have always
given us new ones with the flap and those
just go on by tapping them lightly with
a small hammer.

if they are some other kind of connector
then good luck, perhaps someone else will
know...
