Yes I can see that , your plant looks pretty much like one of mine, good work, pretty drought resistant they are.
I had those little mimosa plants left from back then and 2 have survived.
One of em was given to a friend who is heavily into pruning each season.
He collects lots of stems and leaves material ,while I only collect the material my plant sheds on its own . The one I kept and never pruned pretty much looks like yours.
Hard to believe they have the same age.
He has more or less proven to me that a healthy mimosa be can cut back to the ground and regrow pretty fast, fatter and healthier. He has beautiful small mimosa
tree. With a nice fat stem and lots of growth each year.
I recall someone from Brazil stating something similar , and stem bark should be more active than the the leaves alone. He wrote often times MHRB actually consists of stem bark. I think of my cutbacks as a nice addition to my homegrown ayahuasca mixes,along with my homegrown phalaris and chacruna.
THe same friend of mine tried cloning without success. I'm eager to find a good method for it because that could work well with plants like ours.
11 New seedlings are on their way .
I really like this plant.
Attached is a picture from cactusplaza- you can see that prune along the stem and had a lateral cut to promote main-stem growth at an early age.

Had he more quickly realized just who they were,he would have shown them more respect.Had he tried harder to fathom their brilliant minds,he would have taken more of their teachings to heart.Had he more clearly understood the purpose of their being,
he would have more vigorously tried to assist them.They were truly honorable; he was sadly prejudiced.
They were exceedingly well informed; he was grossly ignorant.They were totally indefatigable; he so often, and so quickly,gave up. Still, for many years there was a strong inter-species alliance between the Eleven-Eleven of the Half-way Realm, their Seraphic Associates,and their flesh-and-blood friend, a common mortal. Much was accomplished, many profited, and, there’s only one regret...They could have achieved so much more...
