Anyone have any idea what it is? http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u...k/Capture1.jpg Silk tree (Albizia julibrissin): This can eventually be a tree 40 feet high with a branch spread of 80 feet. This is a tropical or (at best) a subtropical, damaged by frosts. It might instead be a plume albizia (A. distachya), which is even more tropical. This one grows to about 20 feet. -- David E.

The one I had survived Long Island, NY winters quite well. They don't make good shade trees, at least not to sit under, the aroma from those pom pom like flowers are excellent stinging insect bait. Some folks like mimosa trees but I consider it a noxious weed. |

It's currently in a large pot where a bird must have dropped a seed. When it outgrows the pot, I'll get rid of it, don't want it spreading. Maybe I should get it out of here anyway, before it spreads it's seeds. Paul O. |

If so, drill them out. Visit hardware store and buy yourself rivet gun (more like a pair of pliers) and some rivets. Pay attention to the size, Seems to me replacement rubber would have come with some attachment mechanism? -- Dan Espen |
