Please help to idetify this tree. I bougt the seeds online and for two years believed that I am growing Brazilian rain trees. Recently I saw a Brazilian rain tree bonsai that looked nothing like my plants.

First off, Brazilian raintrees have thorns and your trees do not. I'm not sure what you have there.

They act like raintrees - they fold their leaves at night but the leaves seem to be larger.
 
Let it grow, then trunk chop. Probably best to do that in late winter to early spring.
 
By the way. This tree has some beautiful yellow flowers.

Please add location to profile for better answers;).
 
If it is, you can have two plants --------- mame' [ 6 inches or so ] and with timed defoliation [ feed for a month. lots of sun ]
and the leaves go to about 1/2 inch [ total size ] or grow the trunk to say 3" and then aim at a few branches say 6.

Handles the typical samaan tree shape well. Easy to look after,

There was an Englishman down here, who mastered the mature tree shape, at around 2 feet high. The tree was
stunning!
Best of growing.
Good Day,
Anthony
