Description

The mimosa is a small tree that is usually 20 to 40 feet tall. It has light brown bark, and its leaves look like ferns. Groupings of leaves are 5 to 8 inches long and 3 to 4 inches wide. There are about 20 to 60 leaflets per branch. From May to July the mimosa tree has feathery fragrant flowers resembling pom-poms, that can be from milky white to pink in color. The flowers are about 1.5 inches long, and they form toward the ends of branches. Mimosa seeds form inside flat, straw-colored oval-shaped pods that are about 6 inches long. The pods ripen from August to September, but they stay on the tree until winter. Bees, well they do and are what God intended.
