Is this the tree Albizia, or the touch-me-not plant Mimosa?

Nice. I've planted two from seed, and they're just 6 inches tall now in the second year. I'm just planting them as ornamental and shade trees, as a curiosity. I guess they're nitrogen fixers. Can you tell us any other benefits or uses of this tree?

Sure, I did a whole video on the herbal uses of Mimosa on Tuesday and posted it here on Permies: https://permies.com/t/163288/kitchen/Herbal-Medicine-Lesson-Mimosa

Plants for A Future staes:
Medicinal use of Mimosa: The flower heads are carminative, digestive, sedative and tonic. They are used internally in the treatment of insomnia, irritability, breathlessness and poor memory. The flowers are harvested as they open and are dried for later use. The stembark is anodyne, anthelmintic, carminative, discutient, diuretic, oxytocic, sedative, stimulant, tonic, vermifuge and vulnerary. It is used internally in the treatment of insomnia, irritability, boils and carbuncles. Externally, it is applied to injuries and swellings. The bark is harvested in spring or late summer and is dried for later use. A gummy extract obtained from the plant is used as a plaster for abscesses, boils etc and also as a retentive in fractures and sprains.

Herbalist, Michael Moore taught that Mimosa reduces mast cells, which are histamine receptors.
