I was at a zoo in Oregon recently and saw a tree that I want to know
more about. Can you tell me what kind of tree it is? I have a
picture of it here http://home.comcast.net/~lyddie/whattree.htm .


Mimosa- Albizia julibrissin??


Thanks for the help. Once I know what it is I'd like to find out if
it'll grow in my yard so need the id .

They are highly susceptable to borer infestation. That may be local but
ever tree in this area eventually has to be removed because of borers.
