This is a Eucalyptus saligna that a grew from seed this winter, wanted something that grew fast and it is. About 4 and half feet tall.

I can't see a Eucalyptus in the pic. Where?

Here's the funny part though. Everything I read about Eucalyptus saligna said it had white flowers, these are yellow. Think I didn't get the right seeds? Or do I just have something strange going on?

That green thing with the yellow flowers is the Eucalyptus.

Those flowers are Leguminaceae so I know it's not a Eucalyptus. I hope you didn't buy this as a Eucalyptus.

One more thing, the tree has been flowering like crazy for about 2 months and seed pods all over it so I figure it's healthy. Dead in the center a few of the leaves are turning yellow, should I worry about that or think the leaves are just naturally falling off the main trunk? Branches are growing fast and bark is starting to form from the ground up the main trunk.

Yes the seeds were like $4 so no big deal but they were supposed to be Eucalyptus. I can't seem to find Leguminaceae under plant files, you have a link?

This is the typical Eucalyptus look. The leaves are always a shade of blue. Flowers are short and circular, close to the stem. I grew 2 dozen flats of seedlings recently and just potted up a few dozen plants to 2 gallon. Your plant is definitely not a Eucalyptus and you should maybe put it in the Identification forum.

Leguminaceae is the family - pea relatives.

Ya I know what Eucalyptus lookes like I've just never seen one young so I wasn't sure. So basicly I a big pea on my hands? LOL. Why would it get woody bark on it if it's a pea?

Some pea relatives (Leguminaceae) grow into large trees ie. Gleditsia (Honey Locust). I will probably be doing a Eucalyptus gunni and E. neglecta seed harvest in a few months

Well the reason for those seeds is I just wanted something that grew fast and looked different from the other trees around here so this might work out after all. Got the seeds from http://davesgarden.com/gwd/c/405/ so I figured they would know what their doing. My kids got into my planter this spring and only a few survived but they all looked the same so it wasn't some seeds that blew in from somewhere. Think I'll contact them.

That was quick. Got a reponse on the ID forum. http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/2337/index.html

Windmill Outback Nursery does know what they're doing. I'd contact them and explain. The owner is very knowledgeable about Eucalyptus.

...and it turned out to not even be a Leguminaceae. lol.

Just found some seeds from the "Eucalyptus", going to plant them and see if the same thing comes up. They came up quick so I'll see if rattle boxes start growing again. If the same thing comes up then they gave me the wrong seeds for sure.

I'm late getting in on this thread-you've got showy crotalaria, Crotalaria spectabilis.
A common weed in row-crop fields down South, but I've never seen it growing up here in the frigid northland. It's one of the biggies that the professors hit on in our toxicology/poisonous plants course - toxic to most animals, but most commonly a problem for horses, as it causes major liver damage.

It's one I've wanted to plant in a demonstration poisonous plants garden I'm thinking of starting here at the lab, but I've not been home to AL at the right time to collect seed in quite some time.

Deadly poisonous, that's what I wanted to hear. LOL. I've never seen those around here, I wonder how they got in my planter? The guy next door is a joker and he knew what I was trying to grow, wonder if he had the *alls to change my seeds in the planter? If he did that, it would be funny actually but I doubt he would do that. I'm baffled. Looked at the rattle seeds and they look nothing like the Eucalyptus and their pretty big so i doubt birds are behind this.

If you want seeds send me a SASE. How many you want?

I don't know anything about any of the plants you're discussing, but I don't think you get to refer to the Leguminaceae around the taxonomists anymore. I would've said you have to use Fabaceae, but I can't find that being used in PlantFiles either.

Need one of the Admins to step in here and straighten us out. I found Caesalpiniaceae and Papilionaceae on most of the searches for the woody and herbaceous members of the pea family that I know.
