Silk Tree, Mimosa Tree |
This is a very graceful tree with a unique flat top which creates an interesting canopy effect. The light sensitive leaves close at night. It has delightful fluffy pink summer flowers and fern like leaves. It is a fast grower to 25'-40' when given adequate water. It enjoys high summer heat. It is especially interesting when viewed from above: consider planting on bottom of slope if your patio is on top of slope.
