They are very invasive. They put up shoots in your yard 30 to 50 ft from
the tree. This is usually overcome by mowing regularly, but I just didnt
like them that much.

I'm building a house in the Dallas area and have a 5 foot extra long drive
way which I'm going to put
Mimosa trees 3 on each side so they can grow and touch each other over the
drive way and I'll trim them to create a tunnel effect so when I drive my
car into my garage I'll be driving through a tunnel of flowery

Mimosa trees. Sounds pretty nice. What's the downside?
