Noteworthy Characteristics Albizia julibrissin, commonly called mimosa or silk tree, is a fast-growing, small to medium sized, deciduous tree that typically grows in a vase shape to 20-40’ tall with a spreading, often umbrella-like crown. It is native to Asia (Iran to Japan). It has been widely planted in the U. S. as an ornamental and has escaped cultivation and naturalized in many areas of the southeastern U. S. and California. In the wild, it is typically seen growing in vacant lots, waste areas, clearings, wood margins, fields and along roads. It can be quite invasive in watersheds where water currents carry and distribute the seeds downstream. It is noted for its bipinnate compound dark green leaves (to 20” long). Each leaf has 10-25 pinnae, with each pinnae having 40-60 tiny leaflets (to 1/4” long). Leaves have a fern-like appearance. Fluffy, pink, powder puff flowerheads cover the tree with a long summer bloom. Flowers are fragrant and attractive to bees. Flowers give way to flat bean-like seed pods (to 7” long) which persist into winter. Sensitive leaflets close up when touched and at night. Leaflets fall to the ground after frost, producing no fall color.

A native of China, it is a fast growing, deciduous small tree (up to 35 feet tall at maturity) with an open, airy, umbrella-like canopy. It has a smooth trunk and gracefully arching branches. The leaves are about a foot long with feather-like foliage. The most outstanding feature of Silk Trees are its showy, fluffy pink summer flowers, which are arranged in clusters about six inches across that look like silk powder puffs. Their fragrance fills the mid-summer air and is a great attraction to hummingbirds and bees. In zone 6-11, these are great planted around homes, decks, patios and porches where they provide summertime shade. In colder climates they make wonderful potted plants for outside in summer or grow them inside year round in a full sun location. Easy from seed. Sowing instructions: Seeds need to be scarified. Place seeds in boiling water and leave to cool 24 hours. Or you can rub seeds with sandpaper or carefully nick, scrpae or chick the seedcoat with a sharp cutting utensil. Sow seeds in well drained potting soil 1/8 ' deep at 70-75 degrees. Germination 2-10 days.========= I garantee to deliver fresh viable, germination tested seeds. However, seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These factors are totally out of my control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Consequentially, I cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes. No refunds or replacements on non germinated seeds. If you don't agree to this do not spend your money.

Fern-like foliage and feathery blooms are an attractive combination offered by this tropical beauty. Fast growth makes Albizia an excellent choice for shade or for quickly filling gaps in the landscape. May be overwintered inside where not hardy.
