Hi our auction is for 30 seeds, for you and your friends to enjoy this growing season. The mimosa tree, also known as the silk tree, is a Chinese ornamental tree that was first introduced to the United States in 1745. Since then it has been a common garden plant around the United States, mostly because of its sweet-smelling and beautiful flowers. The mimosa is a small tree that is usually 20 to 40 feet tall. It has light brown bark, and its leaves look like ferns. Groupings of leaves are 5 to 8 inches long and 3 to 4 inches wide. There are about 20 to 60 leaflets per branch. From May to July the mimosa tree has feathery fragrant flowers resembling pom-poms, that can be from milky white to pink in color. The flowers are about 1.5 inches long, and they form toward the ends of branches. Mimosa seeds form inside flat, straw-colored oval-shaped pods that are about 6 inches long. The pods ripen from August to September, but they stay on the tree until winter.
