Mimosa vascular wilt

Hi there,
I bought a young Albizia julibrissin/Persian silktree recently which the seller had grown from seed. Looking at the leaves I’ve become concerned that it has vascular wilt. Only the youngest leaves right at the top are drooping, but I’m mainly concerned because of the uneven colour of the leaves, and slightly brown hue. I believe the leaves of this plant are supposed to be quite a vivid green? But then I’m not sure if the colour is down to it being so young.
Has anyone had/currently got one of these plants and knows whether the below is ‘normal’? Or does anyone know what vascular wilt looks like? There are very few pictures/resources online that show up-close what the disease looks like, especially on young plants.
If it’s infected I want to get it out my garden ASAP before it spreads to anything else!

Thanks in advance for any help/insight.
