I have an empty party patio (10' x 15') and would like to add some
potted trees for privacy and shade. Japanese maple and palm trees
seem very popular. A friend suggests mimosa.

I would not use the mimosa. (Albizia)
It grows very quickly to a Very Big Tree.
It 's also going to drop large quantities of flowers every day and
then seed pods.
Exceedlingly beautiful tree, but not for a patio.
