There's a ubiquitous shrub, that seems like a weed, that I'd like to ID. It
has a leaf around 4 1/4 inches long, tapered, around 5/8 inch at it's
widest. Then there are other leaves (are they the babies that turn into
what I described) that strongly resemble acacia leaves; they are in twos on
a very narrow stem, folded down the center and made of tiny oval
overlapping segments. Maybe they open at some point but I've only seen them
folded.
So, what is this shrub/tree? I believe they can grow to at least six feet
and I've never seen a flower or seed on them but they do seem to self seed
all over the place.
