Mimosa Tree Seeds (Albizia Julibrissin) "Persian Silk Tree"
Native to Asia and in the Fabaceae family, this mimosa is named after nobleman Filippo degli albizzi who introduced it to europe in the mid~eighteenth century.
The albizia is a fast-growing, small to medium-sized deciduous tree that will typically grow in a vase shape from 20' to 40' tall with an umbrella crown.
"The flowers are fragrant & attract bees. At night, the sensitive leaflets will close, or upon being touched anytime throughout the day."
