Albizia julibrissin Mimosa, Silk Tree origin: first imported from China 1745
It’s that time of year again – mimosa time! No, not the orange juice kind, the tree kind!
The blooms aren’t as profuse as they usually are, but the fragrance is super strong! This poor tree is so crowded by the gigantic oak tree in my back yard, but it keeps faithfully blooming every year. I can’t bear the thought of cutting it down and not having these lovely blooms every spring that remind me of my grandparents’ trees.

Mimosa trees are so beautiful. We have an abundance of them in Arkansas. I have several in my yard. They do smell so good.

I remember these trees from my childhood in Mississippi. They were also good trees to climb.

My cousins and I climbed the two that my grandparents had, but we had to have a ladder to get us started!
