Help with plant id

Hey guys,
Silly question but a while back I planted out some tamarind seeds, and Royal poinciana seeds and lost track of the pots in this section of my yard for a bit. So wondering if this is a tamarind, weed, or Royal poincianna?
Thanks,
-Joe

I am going to say that the pictured plant is a Poinciana. I believe Tamarind leaflets alternate back and forth along the stem. The pictured leaflets are in pairs.

Here is a link showing how the tamarind leaflets alternate.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.feedipedia.org/content/tamarind-leaves-india&ved=2ahUKEwity-q-zPfzAhX_RTABHauMDjwQFnoECBUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw03nD5gZyNErHuuZmXQIT6c
Here is another link showing how the Royal Poinciana leaflets are in pairs.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/ST228&ved=2ahUKEwjMo676zPfzAhV7RDABHXldAjwQFnoECDYQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1AvRz_jrCEm_5JdnKk6pH5
Another fact that might help before the plants flower is that Tamarind develops rough bark at a very young age (trunk caliper less than 1" in my experience), where as Royal Poinciana will have fairly smooth bark for many years.
