identify tree please, found growing from side of imported fern

[Hamishtree]

Can any one identify this tree ?

 

There is two photos of the same tree, it was found growing out of a fern bought a year ago, its certainly doing well for a years growth ... Leaves and fern type needles, any thoughts ?

Thank you in advance.

I would agree the ferny one is a Mimosa. Couldn't say which one though, picture is a bit fuzzy.

Sorry to disappoint you folk, but it is the same tree. Any other thoughts, I thought it might be a little rare as I have never seen a fern and other leaf on same tree before ....

Looks like Acacia koa

Did you notice my post?

 

 

That one up there above your one.

Oh yeh Kev!

 

Although, just looking now it could also be Acacia melanoxylon or Acacia implexa

 

A lot of this type of Acacia has juvenile pinnate leaves and older compound leaves that are sickle shaped...

 

Its some sort of Wattle and the "flat leaves" are more phyllodes than leaves
