Mimosa Tree
This deciduous tree is attractive to bees, butterflies, and birds.
The Mimosa tree, Albizzia julibrissin, sometimes called Silk tree, was introduced to the United States in 1745 for use as an ornamental plant because of its unusual, attractive and fragrant pom-pom like flowers and interesting fern-like foliage.
In late winter or spring the domed crown is decked in sprays of small, globular, golden yellow flower heads.
It is able to survive winter in southern U.
