Description

This hardy, tropical looking ornamental tree will bring an exotic look to your yard. It is heat and humidity tolerant and can sustain a certain level of drought as well. It is also known as The Persian Silk Tree because of the incredibly fragrant and beautiful pink flower clusters with an unusual thread-like petals. The greenery is similar to a fern and gives a light base for the cluster of flowers to sit upon. The flowers attract pollinators like butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees to your yard. It is extremely fast growing and reaches a mature height of 20-30 ft with a spread of 20-30 ft. It is hardy in USDA Zones 6-9.

Mimosa trees tend to have very little branching the first few years, but as your tree grows and matures the branching will continually increase.
