Albizia adianthifolia
Flat-crown Albizia, syn: Albizia gummifera
Description
Albizia adianthifolia, commonly known as the Flat-crown Albizia, is a deciduous tree native to parts of Africa. It's recognized by its flat-topped crown and feathery, fern-like leaves that fold up at night. The tree produces fragrant, powder-puff-like flowers, often white or cream-colored, which attract pollinators. It is a fast-growing tree and provides shade and shelter. The tree thrives in well-draining soil and prefers full sun exposure. It is relatively drought-tolerant once established. Pruning can help shape the tree and remove any dead or damaged branches.
