    Green new growth ages to deepest burgundy of any Mimosa yet! Beautifully fragrant, pink, fluffy summertime flowers (think peacock's crest) on this tropicalesque, ferny, broad-canopied tree. 20' tall; can be wider than tall. Does not like wet feet but can use some water, especially in a hot summer.
