Mimosa trees in Texas
In article 0QTXf.746$up2.584@fed1read07,
says...
Mimosa trees. Sounds pretty nice. What's the downside?
They can be a messy tree, constantly dripping sap...they are a low
branching tree so it may be some work to train it to look like you
want..they are considered a short lived tree so if one dies 10 years
from now it can mess up the long term look you pictured...if you are
planting close to the structure they will constantly be in need of
timing away from the structure to help keep branch rubbing damage along
with a number of ant species that live in the trees that will now bridge
onto the structure. The smell of the decomposing blooms from one tree
can be an issue much less numerous trees that will probably now build
up against the garage in a thick blanket.
