Mimosa Tree
The Mimosa Tree, scientifically known as Albizia julibrissin, is a deciduous tree native to Asia. It is known for its striking pink, fluffy flowers that bloom in summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. The tree can grow up to 20-40 feet tall and has a broad, spreading canopy, making it a popular choice for ornamental landscaping.
Mimosa trees thrive in well-drained soil and full sunlight, often found in parks and gardens. However, they can be invasive in some regions, outcompeting native plants. Their feathery leaves are sensitive to touch, folding up at night or during rain, adding to their unique charm.
