Hi there.... I have mimosa tree seeds (Albizia-julibrissin) and a bunch of seedlings if you would like them. Let me know.

Acacia baileyana 'Purpurea' Rgds

Unfortunately , in our zone it will not survive outdoor . I keep my young tree during winter time inside in pot. It is indeed beautiful , gorgeous, evergreen tree with cute leaves and fragrant flowers . I have two types of Mimosa seeds , one is actually tree and second one is bush with silver leaves and yellow fragrant flowers . Bouth will bloom on third year . So, let me know if you want it.

I have seen these Albizias around in lawn situations for many years here in Las Vegas. I think it is so dry here that there invasive qualities are not noticed unless somone keeps a wet area - hopefully not as we are in a drought! It is a very tropical looking tree with pretty flowers. That said it is not a desert tree and I don't believe it is on any current list of trees recommended for the area. For one thing, although it hasn't proved itself an invasive pest here yet who knows but what they may find some at Lake mead as happened with the salt cedar and green fountain grass. Also it doesn't like low water use conditions which can really slow its growth and make it yellow. It is also known for being weak wooded and messy and we do get some strong winds. There are so many other great trees to grow, the mesquites, palo Verdes, desert willows, pithecellobiums, acacias that love it here and are low water use and every bit as beautiful that I would never recommend the silk tree for here.
