I agree. Most gardening professionals consider mimosa a junk tree. But
I saw a nursery selling a chineese tallow, so you can't always rely on
them.

Does anyone have any experience with Mimosa (or Silk) Trees? I
transplanted one last fall and there is no sign of bud break to date.
I'm not sure if they stay dormant longer than other trees and will
eventually leaf out. I'm trying to be patient but am curious if my tree
is dead or just slow. Thanks. Joyce in Oregon

Around here, mimosas are just another weed and spread like mad. That said,
the surviving mimosas in my yard (the ones I didn't manage to cut down and
dig out) are not leafed out yet although most other trees are at least
partially out.
