Is this willow on the street of the desert town?

Is this a willow on the street of the Sonoran desert town?

 

I believe this is one of the Australian Acacia species (of which there are over 1000), possibly A. stenophylla though A. doratoxylon is another that's possible.

 

Leaves look correct as you say for these acacias, but why no buds or flowers or fruits in the middle of March?
I don't think it is acacia

 

Couple of long-leaved willows:
Salix exigua var. exigua (http://www.wnmu.edu/academic/nspages/gilaflora/salix_exigua.html)
Salix elaeagnos (http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/79867/)

 

Andrey, both those willows have leaves with toothed margins and reticulate lateral veins. Australian arid-zone plants have been commonly planted in south-western USA. I still believe this is an Acacia.
Nadia, A. stenophylla, which I think the more likely species, flowers in autumn-winter.

Ok, I have to agree. But after winter suppose to be some buds or dry flowers, it is not so young tree. But I agree, thank you

 

Not Chilopsis?

 

I like this suggestion even more than Acacia!No fruits or flowers so we cannot be sure

 

A. stenophylla, very different than the Chilopsis growing here in Texas.

I don't know what to say... It is somewhere on hwy 85, probably Ajo, gas station. If somebody would be there when the tree is in bloom, please, send us a picture

 

A. stenophylla looks like the best match, but western Chilopsis (ssp. arcuata) has leaves curved and narrower than Texas Chilopsis.

 

I take both answers -Chilopsis linearis ssp. arcuata or Acacia stenophylla
