How to Grow a Silk Tree

Silk tree mimosa growing is really quite easy. Albizia silk trees need a little space to accommodate their arching habit, so be sure to plan for this accordingly when planting. Roots like to spread out as well, so it is wise not to plant this tree close to a sidewalk or other cement patio where it could cause disruption.

Some people also prefer to locate mimosa trees away from gathering areas because flower and pod shed can be kind of messy. Mature trees open into a lovely “V” shape and reach about 30 feet high.

Mimosa thrives in full sun and is not picky about soil type. The tree is easy to start from a seed pod or a young tree.

Silk Tree Care

Silk trees need just enough water to keep moist; they will even tolerate a short period of drought. A 2-inch layer of mulch will help to protect the tree and keep the soil moist. If you are getting regular rainfall, it is not necessary to water your tree.

Fertilize your tree with compost or organic fertilizer in early spring before the leaves appear.

Container Growing

Mimosa also makes an excellent container plant. Provide a large container with plenty of loamy soil and excellent drainage
