Also known as a Persian Silk Tree

Mimosa is a small tree with widely spreading branches, a short trunk, and a broad, flat-topped crown. Leaves are alternate, twice-pinnately compound (fernlike), 6–20 inches long, the pinnae (first division) branches 2–6 inches long, the leaflets about ½ inch long, lacking teeth but with hairs along the edges.

Watering: Consistent moisture is vital, especially during the growing season. Deep watering at the root zone encourages vigorous growth and a bountiful harvest. We recommend a minimum 2 gallons of water every single day for the first 3-4 months. During the Summer trees need to be water early in the morning and in the afternoon, twice a day!
