Pink silk flowers in midsummer. The tree that drapes itself in something no other temperate tree can do.

Albizia julibrissin, the Mimosa or Silk Tree, produces flowers unlike anything else in the temperate landscape, dense clusters of silky pink filaments that look more like a tropical confection than a tree flower, emerging in midsummer when most other flowering trees have been finished for months. The feathery, finely divided compound leaves fold at dusk and in rain, giving the tree a quality of responsiveness that makes it seem almost animate. It grows fast, tolerates drought and poor soils, and produces blooms that attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and native bees in numbers that reflect the quantity and quality of nectar the flowers produce. If you are looking to buy Mimosa tree seeds or grow silk tree from seed, this is the tree that brings a genuinely tropical sensibility to temperate gardens with almost no effort.

  • Extraordinary silky pink flower clusters in midsummer, unlike any other flowering tree in the temperate world
  • Feathery compound leaves that fold in the evening and in rain, giving the tree unusual movement and responsiveness
  • Fast-growing and drought-tolerant once established, thriving in poor soils where other trees struggle
  • Attracts hummingbirds, swallowtail butterflies, and native bees intensively during its long blooming season
  • Seed-grown trees produce natural variation in flower color from pale pink to deep rose

Things you probably did not know about the Mimosa Tree

The leaves move. Albizia julibrissin is thigmonastic and nyctinastic, meaning the leaves fold in response to touch and darkness. The compound leaflets close neatly each evening as light fades and reopen in the morning, a behavior that gives the tree an unusual daily rhythm visible to anyone who pays attention. The same folding response occurs during rain, which is why some rural communities called it the rain tree.

It was introduced to the United States in 1745 by a single botanist. The Persian physician and botanist Filippo degli Albizzi brought Mimosa seeds to Italy from Persia in 1745, and the tree was subsequently introduced to the United States where it has naturalized extensively across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Despite being widely planted for nearly 300 years in North America, it remains native to Asia and is considered invasive in some southeastern states.

Hummingbirds are so attracted to it that plantings near feeders reduce feeder visits. The nectar production of Mimosa flowers is sufficient that hummingbirds in areas with established Mimosa trees often prefer the natural flowers to artificial feeders during the blooming season. Gardeners who plant Mimosa near hummingbird feeders frequently report that the feeder needs refilling far less often because the birds have a better source available.

The wood was used in traditional Persian and Turkish instrument making. The wood of Albizia species native to the Middle East and Central Asia was used for sounding boards and bodies in traditional stringed instruments across the Ottoman and Persian cultural spheres. The combination of density, resonance, and workability made it a preferred tonewood in regional instrument traditions for centuries.

Perfect Everyday Tank – Great Value and Fit
Size: X-Small, Color: Navy White Placed Stripe
This sleeveless muscle tank has quickly become a staple in my wardrobe. The material is soft, lightweight, and doesn’t wrinkle easily — perfect for everyday wear. I really like that the armholes aren’t too large, so there’s no bra showing. I got the navy and white striped one, and it’s not see-through at all. At under $10, it’s a fantastic value. I find myself reaching for it again and again. It works great on its own in summer or hot climates, and also pairs nicely with a cardigan or jacket. Looks great with denim shorts or jeans. I am 5’3” and 116 lbs. I ordered the XS and it fits great.

Soft Tank Top
Size: Small, Color: Bright White
Very soft material and comfortable and fits true to size, but the size is flowy/oversized or “relaxed” as they call it. If you want a tighter fit, size down. Perfect for layering.

Drapes Without Clinging, Loose Fit, Odd Shoulder Seams
Size: Medium, Color: Forest Green
I bought the medium and it fits well but I probably could have gone with a small (I'm a size 10). I prefer a looser fit so it's fine with me. The fabric is soft, stretchy and drapes really nice without being clingy. The only thing I find odd is the neckline/shoulder seaming. If you put the shoulder seams where they belong, the back neckline drops lower than the front (the pictures show otherwise). It doesn't feel odd and with the dark color it's not noticeable but it's worth mentioning. I got it on sale, so it's a great value if you don't mind having to line dry.

Love the fit!
Love the fit and feel of this tank. Feels casual yet classic. I wish it came in more color/print options. A red stripe or a green stripe would awesome! I am 5'1" and 165 (large chest) and a large fit perfect!

Love the print, but didn't like the style...
Size: Small, Color: Dark Camel Leopard
I'm 5'5 114lbs 34B and got the "camel" leopard print in size small. I think it's technically a cute shirt and it fits okay, I guess, but the style and color ended up looking terrible on me! For reference, the size small measures 21 inches long (from the center of the front collar to the bottom), and about 18 inches wide. I find the style really unflattering on me. The color seemed like it would be flattering for most skin tones, but it ended up making my yellowish skin tone (I'm half asian) look sickly. Also note that this shirt is made of rayon, which is sensitive to heat, so if you get it (and you like it) you should keep it out of hot water and avoid putting it in the dryer if you don't want it to shrink. As for the fit, I usually wear size small unless I want my shirt to fit oversized or flowy etc, so I got this in small. It fits loose enough to be comfortable, but this type of collar is so unflattering on me (I could deal if it was either higher or lower) and the curved hem and in-between length just doesn't suit my body type. LOL, apparently, the fact that it has a cool print still doesn't change the fact that the "muscle" tee style looks terrible on me. It might suit someone else though. The fabric is stretchy and soft, but it's not clingy or see thru (might be in other colors though). The armholes also don't gape at all (doesn't show any of my bra). I ended up having to return it.
