Mimosa Trees
The Mimosa Tree, a member of the Fabaceae family, originated in Asia and was first introduced to the United States in 1745. The mimosa is a small to medium size tree that matures to 20-40 feet tall. Mature trees open to a “V” shape, allowing full sun exposure to the many branches of the white & purple flowering trees. The mimosa tree is a fast grower, with the ability to put on 2 feet or more of growth during a season.

Mimosa trees reproduce both vegetatively and by seed. It is best to plant them in an area that does not receive a lot of foot traffic to help with leaf and seed pod litter. Regular raking and removal of this litter will help prevent unwanted mimosa seedlings. A good pruning for these trees is recommended during the dormant season to help their drooping limbs stay strong. The average life span of a mimosa tree is 20 years, which is shorter than many other flowering trees. However, they are fairly easy to propagate from seed and fast growers, so growing a replacement tree is right at your fingertips.
