What Are These?

[PalmTreeDude]

I saw these in the thumbnail of a TED Talk video and thought they looked very tropical. They’re some sort of seedling, does anyone know what these are? Are they some sort of garden crop? Video Link: https://youtu.be/mjUsobGWhs8

Some sort of plant in the Legume ( Pea ) family..  At this age however, could be 1 of several thousand things.. ( have seed of about 2 dozen things that look like this, at this stage of growth myself ) Would have to see the same seedlings after 3-5 months, after they have developed past the seedling stage, to narrow down the possibilities.  Could be an Albizia sp, or Acacia, Prosopis ( Mesquite ) Enterolobium, etc.. Again, long list of potentials at this stage.

 Knowing where the video was shot might provide another way to " narrow the list ",  so to say.

Gotta love Legumes, they make for some great trees!

Definitely some of the best. Some of the worst too ( think Leucanea leucocephala  lol )

Those look like Tamarind seedlings

Thanks for the replies, I’ve been wondering what these may have been.

They look similar to my Albizia seedlings from last year but a lot of plants look like this at that growing stage.

I have grown Leucaena leucocephala and Mimosa pudica aswell and they also look similar to this.

These are my Albizia julibrissin seedlings
