......Have plentary of Mimosa here in Georgia. Going to start harvesting root bark to dry!.....
Dude, The "Mimosa" you are talking about is.....(from Wikipedia)
Albizia julibrissin is known by a wide variety of common names, such as
Persian silk tree or
pink siris. It is also called
Lenkoran acacia or
bastard tamarind, though it is not too closely related to either genus. The species is usually called
"silk tree" or
"mimosa" in the United States, which is misleading - the former name can refer to any species of
Albizia which is most common in any one locale. And, although once included in
Mimosa, neither is it very close to the Mimosae. To add to the confusion, several species of
Acacia, are also known as "mimosa".
We have them here in Oklahoma too, they look like something out of a Dr. Seuss book.
Maybe I'm mistaken, but you might want to Google it before you go digging up someones ornamental tree.
