What does a POPCORN CASSIA seed look like. I asked this question the other day, and the answer that I was given was for a Cassia Golden Shower tree. Can you Please find me a picture of what a CASSIA POPCORN seed looks like.
All seeds in the genus, Cassia will look very similar. It would be very hard to tell them apart, actually. So the seed that you saw will be very identical to the seed you will be looking for. You can be sure that what you saw will be very close to what you want.
I have read the articles but nothing is said about pruning this plant. Mine is becoming quite large here in Yuma AZ and is still blooming profusely. It is only 1.5 years old as of now. So my question is: When and HOW to prune this plant, as there are several limbs from the ground up! Thank you in advance.
Pruning is actually not recommended in younger plants. Allow it to grow and flower at will. Planting several together can make the appearance more full.
As the plant ages you may began to see less flowering, so this is when you can prune it down; early in spring.

A seedling appeared in a pot on my patio. Probably a “gift” from a bird. After searching online I have narrowed it down to possibly a cassia. Would you be able to identify it from this picture? I have since transplanted it in the ground. I live in zone 9b.
It does appear to be a cassia. I think that your identification is as close to accurate as you can get without knowing for sure which cultivar that it is. You can try taking the photo to your local extension service. They will be able to help you a little more.

I'm in S. Florida and planted tree about 5 months ago. Some of the leaves are yellowish with black speckles and some of the ends of branches are black. Attaching a photo. Watered as advised. No fertilizer yet.
Sometimes, this can be of no fault to the gardener. Soil can be contaminated before planting. There are many things that you can do to combat soil pathogens, but I prefer a simple dusting of wettable sulfur and dolomitic lime.
This will treat the illness, but the dying leaves will not recover. They will fall off eventually. New growth will be unaffected and you will know the treatment is working.

How to prune them so they don't get out of control. I have two up against my back wall and they re already over the top... can I prune them back to manageable height?
You can prune these back pretty easily. It is best to wait until spring though. This will give it the best chance of fighting off potential infection from trimming. Here is an article for more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/cassia/cassia-tree-pruning.htm

I'm in Bangkok and my Cassia fistula (planted in the ground earlier this year) grew like crazy, almost 3 meters during the rainy season. But it is slowing down now with with cooler weather and no rains.
In a pot there is more possibility for depressed growth due to water and nutrient issues.
A good rich potting soil, water and fertilization are the first considerations. If you think the soil is as good as you can get, then the next issue is water.
Adequate water is of utmost importance, consider using a soil moisture meter to take the guesswork out of when to water.

Fertilize at least spring and fall with a slow release natural fertilizer like this:
