Mimosa, botanical name Albizia julibrissin, is a magnificent looking, small to large sized deciduous tree that absolutely loves the heat! Native to Asia, this strikingly beautiful tree features a flat-topped dense canopy that provides a good amount of filtered shade to protect and cool off during those hot sunny days. Its flat spreading crown does more than provide shade, it features green ferny leaves and a constant summer bloom of fuzzy, bright pink, powder puff-like flowers that is sure to please the senses. While the summer bloom is a big attractor to people, butterflies, and birds, it's also an attractive multi-stemmed tree when bare - allowing landscape sunlight in during the winter.

Also known as the Silk tree, this hardy tree requires low to moderate water once established and full sun to partial shade environments. The Mimosa tree is an excellent patio tree and great for bird watching, too. Since it loves high summer weather, it's a good choice for homeowners in the Southern California Inland Valleys and in Southwestern landscapes where it can take in the heat. For instant shade and curb appeal, we recommend buying as big as you can. Moon Valley Nurseries grows and nurtures the finest Mimosa specimens that are ready to thrive in your Southwest landscape!
