The E.H. Wilson Mimosa Tree (Albizia julibrissin ‘E.H. Wilson’) is a small- to medium-sized highly ornamental tree. It is known for its cold hardiness and graceful pink flowers with an interesting fuzzy texture that bloom in early- to mid-summer and stay on the tree until early autumn, much longer than other hardy flowering trees. It also has intriguing dark green foliage that have a ferny look to them and are arranged in pinnately compound form. This tree has a wide-spread, rounded crown giving it an aesthetically pleasing form.

\nThe E.H. Wilson Mimosa Tree was selected by E.H. Wilson in Korea. It is a cultivar of the Mimosa Tree that differs from its parent species in its improved cold hardiness and wider spreading growth habit. As an accent tree in a yard, it can be quite the spectacle due to its appealing form, beautiful and long lasting pink flowers, and overall unique look for how cold hardy it is. It grows best in full or partial sun and does not have any specific soil preferences but should be kept moist until fully established.
