Strange Tree Identification (Poinciana ?)

Hello All

I've been doing some work at a place that has a tonne of trees that I am not familiar with and was hoping I may find some assistance here. I've got quite a few to post, but I'll do that 1 thread at a time.

The leaf on this one looks, from ground level, to be Poinciana albeit with a bole that looks like a palm tree of some kind, it's about 10m tall. Is this just some kind of bizarre Poinciana or something else?

Looks a little like a Neem tree.

Not a Neem, leaves are wrong

Could be yellow or red Poinciana, even Jacaranda have similar leaves. Guess you'll have to wait for the flowers

Definitely not a poincianna due to the rather unusual branch union to the trunk which appears to be self shedding (

That's what's weird as well as the stunted canopy. At this stage I'm going with the Poinciana leafed Palm Trunk Tree Fern tree.

Mexican Fern tree looking at the trunk and leaves...MM:)

Bingo, nice one MM. Looks for all money to be the culprit. Not too long before it's due to flower for absolute confirmation.
