Mimosa, Silk Tree

Genus: Albizia.

Species: Albizia julibrissin.

Free sapling from Linda in 2001. The bucks rub on it and have killed parts of this tree several winters. In summer of 2008 the whole center of the tree is dead and I threatened to just chop it all down because I wanted it for the beautiful pink blooms and the darned tree has never given me one single bloom ! That is until late summer 2008 that is !! Finally this tree is blooming ! I guess I'll keep it !
