Silk Tree (Albizia julibrissin) – A Delicate Beauty with a Tropical Touch.
Mature height 4 - 6m
The Silk Tree, also known as the Mimosa Tree, is a graceful, fast-growing deciduous tree prized for its feathery, fern-like foliage and stunning pink, silk-like flowers that bloom in summer. Native to Asia and the Middle East, this tree brings a light, airy, and tropical feel to gardens, attracting butterflies, bees, and birds with its sweetly scented blooms. Winter hardy. The small leaflets of the compound leaves quickly disintegrate after leaf fall. Drought & heat tolerant.
Fast-Growing & Drought-Tolerant: Thrives in warm, sunny locations and can handle dry conditions once established.
Seasonal Interest: While deciduous, the Silk Tree provides dappled shade in summer and drops its leaves in autumn, allowing winter sunlight to filter through.
Prefers full sun for the best flowering and growth.
Grows well in well-draining, sandy, or loamy soils, but adapts to various soil types.
Water regularly when young; once established, it is drought-tolerant.
It can be pruned to shape in winter to maintain a balanced form and encourage strong growth.
Fast-growing and easy to care for, making it ideal for creating shade quickly.
