The listing, Fast Growing Mimosa Tree Seeds - 10 has ended.
Mimosa is a deciduous, small to medium-sized tree that can grow 20 to 40 feet tall. Mimosa tree is also known as silk tree. It is a member of the legume (Fabaceae) plant family and is capable of fixing nitrogen. The bark is light brown and smooth while young stems are lime green in color, turning light brown and covered with lenticels. Leaves are alternately arranged and bipinnately compound (6 to 20 inches long), having 20 to 60 leaflets per branch. The leaf arrangement gives mimosa a fern-like or feathery appearance. Mimosa flowering occurs from May through July. Pom-pomesque flowers are borne in terminal clusters at the base of the current year’s twigs. The flowers are fragrant and pink in color, about 1½ inches long. Seeds require scarification in order to germinate. This characteristic allows the seed to remain dormant for many years. Mimosa is a very fast growing tree.
