This is an Albizia lebbeck with many seeds, that are easy to pick. But a mistake early settlers made in Israel, was that they did not choose enough good for the right DNA. This tree looks less healthy than others. When a tree bears a lot of seeds it's easy to use as source, but less seeds means often a more healthy tree. It's also good to use seeds of the same variety, but from many different regions in order to get as many genes as possible. Those can be mixed when they mature and from that offspring a plant breeder can test on pests, diseases, cold, and drought resistance. Unfortunately with perennial crops that takes hundreds years. Instead, a traveler in a huge natural forest might see hundreds of fruit trees and he tastes them and if one he likes very much he will use the seeds. Or if we have a supply chain and keep records of hundreds of farmers and rank the farm with the highest yields and best quality we might use his tree source in cultivating seedlings or cuttings. However, in commercial markets it is often mandatory to show from which cultivar the product originates. And seedlings are often no cultivars. This "Mother Trees" section of rozendale.com helps to create a kind of family tree of plants.
