Golden Mimosa Tree | Acacia dealbata
- This Australian sensation is simply a must-have for milder gardens in southern and coastal regions; its pinnate, feathery, evergreen leaves adding colour and brush-like texture the whole year round
- From January to April, abundant pom pom flowers bloom in fluffy, lemon-yellow clusters, providing a much-needed injection of colour and happiness in the dark, dreich winter months
- The fabulous flowers are highly fragrant, radiating a deliciously sweet scent with hints of both vanilla and almond coming to the fore – it’s no wonder that the flower essence is used by perfumers across the world!
- Bees and insects love the mimosa flowers, too, with the blooms providing a valuable source of late winter fuel (for the bees, in particular)
- Native to the Australian territories of Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales, the mimosa tree is thought to have first been introduced to Europe by Captain Cook on one of his famous voyages of exploration
- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single-use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better-shaped tree. This can stop the tree from becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth
