The Mimosa tree

- Sorry, my memory was not correct on the flower falling with the seed. It makes a pod like a bean pod. You collect them in fall. They are carried by the wind or birds or other animals could digest and spread seeds. I am sorry I did not refresh my memory before saying that. But at the time I thought it was correct. Like Maple trees make pods also.
Mimosa (Albizia julibrissin) s an Asian species. Which is one of my favorite weed trees. It will send flowers down the roan with wind currents. Plant itself in a good spot and grow really fast. The blooms are beautiful. Fuzzy puff looking balls. It attracts bees and many other insects.
The tree is hard to garden under because the root systems are so invasive. Its powerful root systems can also lift and crack concrete .Facts
plant hardiness zones 6 through 9.
mature height of 20 to 30 feet in less than 10 years
mimosas live for less than 50 years
I have read it is hard to garden under because the root systems are so invasive. But as you see in my video many things grow under it.
I Will be planting me a Mimosa 🌴
I've always liked Mimosa trees. They always seem so cheerful when they are blooming. Happy gardening!
I am glad you like them too. The do make you happy just looking at them.
I pulled one out by it’s riot from my boyfriends rental was almost 1 ft high.transferred to a place where it is wanted & needed. It started to establish and gained almost another foot. It was fine in October. Just checked on it (early Jan) and something ate it (and my hydrangeas) It’ looks like a tiny broken skewer stick! I weep because I imagined it to look like an actual tree by the end of summer. Now I have revised my ambition for it to simply survive. I wrapped a roll of chicken wire around the little twig and pray it’s still alive and growing at the root level and will at least return as a living plant this spring.
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing. I love this tree too.
Hello! I just stubled across your video while doing research on plants😊
You mentioned a friend who had a little fern that looked sort of like your lovely tree that closes up when it's touched. Those are mimosa pudica plants!
Hi E, I love Mimosa trees, they look like pink cotton balls on them, lol. Take care sweetie 😘❤️
Thank you, Willow. Did you have them in your area also?
The Sneak E Gardener yes we have them here.
Beautiful!!!I one of my fave trees. I have one started by my front porch and too close to house, hoping to be able to dig it up and transplant it a little further out. My fence row is full of them too. They grow pretty fast!
Jude Judy hi. Glad to hear you love them too. I waited to long to move this one. They take off fast. I read you have to get the trunk root out to stop regrowth.
ONE THING IF YOU TRANSPLANT AND CUT THE ROOTS......YOU NEED TO MAKE THE CUTS "REALLY CLEAN"-----
Good morning Sneak E ! That’s one crazy looking tree glad the bees and other pollinators love it . Have a great weekend 👍
Hello, Steve.Thank you. I am surprised you do not have one in your area also. I really love this tree. Leaves and flowers are amazing. Have a great weekend too. E :)
I have two of these trees in my yard and I love them
Marvelous
The tree is beautiful.Thanks for sharing.Looking forward to more videos.Have a great day.
Theresa Cole thank you.
Charlies dad planted a mimosa on our property about 20 years ago and in ny they really dont grow but this one did ....now that he is gone that tree is so special to us ....we have not had the luck of it spreading like a weed but i do hope for you it does ;) great to see you out and about beautiful xo
Thank you. I am so happy to see you. And it is amazing you have one there to enjoy and remember him by. Hugs.
It is interesting that you put out this video because I have had a discussion about them with my sister and another UA-camr. Even though they are invasive species and are almost impossible to get rid of, they are very pretty. That seems to be the consensus.
Hi, yes. I have cut this down at least 2 times. You have to dig the root ball out. or burn it. To close to the house for that. Yet, I love it enough to let it get this big over night. hahahah
That is a very pretty tree . A cutting would probably work out great. You are looking great beautiful friend. Big hugs back to you 😊
Little Bean's Garden thank you my friend. This would look great at your house too. But, block to much sun in you garden.
Hi sneaky E! I love that tree ! It's gorgeous 😁love ya. Hugs!
Hi, Elln. Thank you. It is beautiful. Love ya too. :)
LOve mimoza...So sweet...
Thank you :)
that is a beautiful tree, definitely a true Faery loved tree, I bet you can feel them tickling you when you are under it
This tree is full of magical beauty. Always makes me smile. I will have to pay more attention. Even humming birds love it.
I like the new name change and this is a very pretty tree. We had one in our yard in Florida and they attracted a lot of pollinators for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, MP. Good to see you. And thank you. I am glad you have seen them in person. Your bees would love this tree. It is listed at zone 4 to 7. So not sure if you are oo cold for it there. Have a great week. E :)
I don't think I have seen it here in Massachusetts.
@@massachusettsprepper they are INVASIVE AND DONT BELONG HERE
@@QueBeraBera It’s still pretty.
@@massachusettsprepper I can't not agree ...wait that's a double negative... I mean I agree! Even though they're evil still and it pisses me off when I have to clean my pool. 😅🤬😑😲🙃
very Beautiful Tree !!
Thank you. I love it too.
I do like your channel name change 👍🏼😃👍🏼 very cute!!!
Thank you, my friend. :)
The flower does not carry the seeds.They have a seed pod that opens up and the seeds come from it!
The tree of Heaven
Wink!
Beautiful Tree! We had them in VA. I don't remember your State. Now I am in Arizona and I have seen them here. I would like to get one.... Thank you... :)
The flowers don't have seeds, after the flowers are done they form seed pods that almost look like greenbeans the seeds are in those pods.
mine are full of hummingbirds--they love to get in the blooms .
Cool Video E! I like the new name too. Did you know that Mimosa is a medicinal herb used as a natural antidepressant? My wife and I were just talking about Mimosa trees. I look forward to the Voodoo lily video too.
Thank you, Yes. I do know about it as a med. Do you have it there? It is zone 6-9. But, I do not remember your zone location. Have a great weekend. E
So is the tree same as the plant that grows wild?
Very good info. Hopefully the roots won't damage your house.
Pj Danita thank you. It will if I let it reach full size.
Those are rich in DMT (The spirit molecule).
It is Beautiful!
Thank you, Shirley. I am lucky to have it.
Ilike those trees too
Hi, Jeanne. I am glad to hear you do too. This is an amazing tree.
Just got one of these today i have a dwarf version in red flowers but wanted a larger upright version
Warm climate only... Or keep in house... Will not take cold weather... A tree for the south...
Was that a little hummingbird that flew through?
@THEEMPTYNESTER .......HI, I WAS WONDERING HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE MIMOSA TO "BUD" OR "LEAF OUT" AFTER THE WINTER SEASON.......ITS ALMOST MAY AND MINE STILL HASNT LEAFED OUT......)))))))
Cool tree
Pretty tree...
Tera P thank you.
Oh You Totally Have To Send Me Some Starts !!! I can't get them started :( Please Oh Please !
I will. I will collect the seed for now and send seed for you to try first. But, please give me time. It is not easy for me to get topo right now. Thanks . E
I am the beggar, not the chooser... If you would let me know when you have seeds, I would appreciate it... Thank you so much !
Bumble Bee Junction will let you know. We had a major down pour of rain today. So need to collect and dry what is on ground.
Thanks Sister E !

Wow your tree is beautiful
Robin Skinner thank you.
My neighbor has a Mimosa I'm going to get some of the flowers and start my own.
Is that a green dragon, araceae, under your mimosa??
HEY Birthday GIRL ..... Don't sit under the MIMOSA TREE .... with anyone else but ME !!!!!!
Herfortz awe, thank you.
i have in a container but is not fast growing,3years now. do i something wrong?
Its called memosa pudica. The shy plant.
THIS IS ALSOME!!!!!
Thank you Mam
Hello sneaky! I have several Mimosa trees growing, but they seem to die at about 3 years. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Is that a Sleepy Plant or the Touch-Me-Not Plant or Shame Plant?
Is this the plant which contains DMT
In Mozambique they grow everywhere
I think I may have a momosa tree. I dont know how to tell if its one or not. Do you know what the buds look like before they bloom? I think mine are about to bloom but I am not sure.
How do you start a Mimosa tree cutting? Can’t seem to find instructions on that in UA-cam. Would appreciate any advice on that!
Pretty tree sweetie. Too bad it isn't hardy this far north.
You could try to bonsi it. But I made a mistake in saying the flowers falling had the seed. It looks like pods on the end of them. A bean will grow near fall with seeds. I have never seen the beans on my tree. So will loke this fall on other trees to see if thy have them. Someone cut down the mom to my tree. It will grow back though. They tore down 3 more houses and a trailer on my street.
I do not know where you are located, but I can tell you they grow in Ohio and Michigan. So into zone 5. In it's extreme northern range it can be damaged by the winter but quickly recover and will need some shaping up. They are beautiful trees but very messy with the flower drop and all the leaf mess, so you may need to keep the broom handy. Also keep in mind that when you shape the tree, you may have branches that are. low and you may have to duck under them but over the course of the winter, those same branches will rise up alot.😀
I thought a mimosa was vodka in orange juice....who would have thought it was a giant weed/ tree.
I did not know vodka in orange juice was called by this name also. That is interesting. Have a great day.
Does it smell good
Yes
Can I put the flowers in my blender and chug
Is this the tree that has dmt?
Wrong, this is persian silk tree or pink silk tree (Albizia julibrissin) but mimosa plants belong to Mimosa sp. such as mimosa pudica(small plant) and mimosa pigra (a tree).
which mimosa?
Same problems around the tree
Isnt that the calliandra surinamensis?
No, it is not a weeping tree. Or sub tropical. But, they do look like the same flowers and leaf
Smells like peaches
What type of mimosa is that?
Mimosa Hostilis
Please, when the tree is on flowering?
Summer.
Is this the correct tree and is it in the usa?
Hi Sneak-E I just looked it up and someone post on UA-cam saying the whole tree was good for medicinal purposes including depressions. No I don’t have one ..only red western cedar and some other trees that give off a lot of yellow pollen that turns everything yellow lol ., my soil is too rocky I guess . I had to build raise beds and hauled in some better soil for my garden . I have better soil below but want to keep an eye on the garden along with my granddaughter’s chicken coop . :)
Yes, I have read about it. But, with the bark soaking in grain alcohol like ever clear. I think it is the alcohol that helps with mood or sleep. The tr just looking at it cures depression. So I see no need to ingest it. I have learned a lot about Natural medicine to not promote it with out all info. And what helps one person may harm another. Who was not brought up on it. I may talk about this some day. Thank you for bringing this up in the comments.
What zones do these trees grow in?
9 and up. Prefer 10-13
There are numerous Mimosa trees growing around my town and in my backyard in Central Ma.. Our zone is considered 5B. Mine is sheltered, but others are planted in open areas, unprotected from winter winds.
Invasive. Grow anywhere. Bad and that is a freaking bumble bee
Need mimosa hostilis bark?

I think that you can make LSD from its roots
