Really nice picture of the mimosa tree. I live in zone 5 in Maine, and have several mimosas planted in the yard, but they do get alot of die-back in the winter, so I don't really think they'll ever bloom--they just come back really strong in the summer with 4-5 foot branches. However, I do have one in a large tub which is about to bloom, it's covered with flower buds now and should be blooming in a few more days. I keep the tree in the garage through the winter and bundle up the tub with an old quilt. The garage never gets below 5 degrees, so the tree survives with no problem, however, when the temps outside start to go near or below zero, I have to put a couple jugs of warm water under the quilt every day to keep the soil from freezing, but it's not that much trouble and it's really worth it to have such a tropical-looking plant in the garden. Oh, it also blooms for almost 2 months.

Hello, I'm new to the web and not an expert, just wanted to comment on why something invasive upsets people. I love the mimosa also, but it will take over the natureal trees and shrubs in any area around the tree. I don't mean just your yard either. Your neighbors will quickly not like you in a few years when they become tired of removing these seedlings from all their pots, flower/veg gardens and even little crack in the sidewalk. Even worse is around the foundation of the house. These seeds are carried off by birds, wind and rain water and spread way farther then you coud even imagin to take over the woods or small patch of earth. And when they grow unless you know how invassive they are you think they are too pretty to kill so that tree will spread it's seeds farther. They will grow several feet in a year and be blooming and producing seeds in year three I think. Oh, yeah, and let's not forget to add smell good and attract butterflies and hummingbirds to their charm. Sorry so long, just please read more and make sure that they are not invasive in your zone first.
