Albizia julibrissin 'Summer Chocolate' ~ Chocolate Mimosa Tree design-studio (3) 2019-06-23 13 33 23Chocolate Mimosa is a small to medium sized tree that typically reaches a height of 20 to 30 feet. It features finely divided, fern like leaves that emerge as a deep burgundy or chocolate brown color, hence its name. In late spring and summer, the tree is adorned with fluffy, pink, powder puff like flowers that create a beautiful contrast against the dark foliage. This Mimosa variety thrives in well drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade.
