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 presume "buiss" is short for buisson (shrub, bush). But you had
probably worked that out for yourself.

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

Hi Cat(h). No I hadn't worked out the buiss - I just
thought it was part of the name of the variety. Looking at
the receipt though lists it as buisson, so you are right,
it must be abbreviated on the plant label.
Another word added to my French vocabulary :-)
I'll have another google dropping the bush part. Thanks.

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! :-)

It is a lovely plant. I love the fact that it flowers in late winter -
just when you are yearning for some extra colour. I wonder how mimosa
would perform in my little neck of Ireland - cold by Irish standards,
but mild enough to grow many relatively delicate things.

Its one we struggle with, the wind defoliates it each year, we get on
better with Acacia bailleyana, but there are several tree sized ones at
Falmouth.
