Does anyone have one of these trees/shrubs and can give any
advice regarding care and planting?

I've just bought one and the lady at the garden centre said
it should be kept indoors until Spring / Summer then
planted outdoors in a sheltered spot out of the way of cold
wind, then wrapped in fleece to over Winter.

In this instance Google has not found any matches for the
specific plant variety "mimosa gaulois buiss" shown on the
label. It is a nice looking plant at around 2 feet high and
has bunches of lovely yellow flowers. I can post a photo if
anyone is interested?

I googled it on google.fr, and it gives another name for it: acacia
dealbata.
Any better?

Excellent. Thank you. That seems to be the one. Wikipedia
lists two varieties. From the leaf length I think mine is
the lower altitude one that grows up to 30 metres high.

When it reaches that height it will take a bit of work
wrapping it with fleece in Winter! :-)
