A deciduous ornamental tree with spectacular pink, pom-pom-like flower clusters
Albizia julibrissin 'Rosea', commonly known as the Pink Silk Tree or Mimosa Tree, is a deciduous ornamental species native to southwestern and eastern Asia. This cultivar features a distinctive broad, umbrella-shaped canopy with delicate, feathery compound leaves that demonstrate nyctinastic movement, folding in the evening or when touched.
The tree is primarily valued for its spectacular summer display of silky, pink, pom-pom-like flower clusters that emerge from June through August. Reaching heights of 6-12 meters (20-40 feet) at maturity with a similar spread, Albizia julibrissin 'Rosea' provides an elegant, tropical appearance in temperate landscapes. The tree produces flat, bean-like seed pods that mature to a light brown color in autumn.
This species offers exceptional ornamental qualities with its fast growth rate, striking summer flowers, and attractive foliage that creates a tropical aesthetic in temperate environments. Once established, the Pink Silk Tree is remarkably drought tolerant and requires minimal maintenance, making it an ideal specimen for discerning gardeners and landscape professionals.
After scarification, plant seeds at a depth of approximately 1 cm (0.4 inches) in a well-draining growing medium. Use a fertile soil mix to support early seedling development and establishment.
Maintain soil moisture at consistently damp but not saturated levels. Provide bottom heat of 20-25°C (68-77°F) if possible to enhance germination rates. Germination typically occurs within 2-4 weeks when properly scarified.
Monitor regularly and maintain adequate ventilation to prevent fungal issues. Once seeds germinate and develop primary leaves, gradually reduce humidity and increase light exposure to support healthy seedling growth.
Optimal Conditions: Full sun to partial shade with minimum 6 hours direct sunlight daily. Maximum sun exposure promotes flowering and optimal growth rates, while some afternoon shade can be beneficial in extremely hot climates.
Regular watering during establishment phase is essential for developing strong root systems. Once established, the Pink Silk Tree demonstrates excellent drought tolerance and requires minimal supplemental watering except in prolonged dry periods.
Adapts to various soil types but prefers well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soils. The tree is tolerant of poor soils and demonstrates remarkable adaptability once established. Avoid waterlogged or clay-heavy soils that impede drainage.
Apply balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring after the first year of establishment. Use a formulation with moderate nitrogen levels to support vegetative and floral development without promoting excessive growth.
Transplant to individual containers when seedlings reach 10-15 cm in height. Time final landscape planting after risk of frost has passed. Handle carefully to minimize root disturbance during transplanting operations.
Provide wind protection for young specimens to support establishment. May require winter protection in colder zones. The Pink Silk Tree's deciduous habit provides natural winter dormancy adaptation to temperate climates.
