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.

Batteries stop holding charge after only a few months.
I live in Phoenix so there is plenty of sunshine for the solar panels to charge the batteries. After only a few months, several (I purchased 12) of the units stopped working. I changed a few batteries (at over $25 per battery) and the units worked fine again. Disappointing considering the initial cost of the units. I won't buy these again and would not recommend them considering their cost and their short lived batteries.

Great lights, terrible assembly
Just got these and ran one night, lots to love about these: very high-quality and sturdy construction. Huge solar panel compared to every other solar light I've used or seen. Seems like high quality powder coated finish and everything fit together great (except see below). I would have given this 5 stars except for the facts that 1) the threading of the screw for the spike to stake assembly is total crap. The threads got messed up when they cut the parts and they didn't bother to recut the threads. It took me no less than about 15 minutes of frustration per light to get the damn things to thread together. Only 1 out of 9 lights easily thread together like you'd expect and 1 cross threaded and would not go together. For $80 a piece you'd expect perfection. 2) So. Many. Screws. Granted you get the benefit of a 3 part stake to adjust the height but it takes 6 screws to just assemble the thing. Need to change the battery? NINE, yes 9 screws to get at the battery. Also, the screws are soft and easy to strip so take great care not to over tighten. So I'd recommend the light based on the quality and performance, just prepare yourself for a frustrating assembly and battery change when the time comes.

Over two years and works great
I’m happy with the light, works great, easy to clean and wipe down, lasts thru most of the night. It gets great sun in our coastal yard for 6-8 hours and when it’s cloudy it still works decently
