Mimosa Tree - Silk Tree
Description
Albizia julibrissin, commonly known as the Persian silk tree or mimosa, is a graceful, deciduous tree celebrated for its beautiful, feathery foliage and showy flowers. The leaves are composed of many small leaflets that give the tree a delicate, fern-like appearance.
