I Have Two Mimosa Trees. Only One Has Beautiful Pink Blossoms. How Might I Enhance The Color On The Dull One?

Question

Both were transplanted from saplings from the same tree seven years ago. They’re 80 feet apart. Both look strong and healthy. They get about the same amount of sun. The soil could be very different.

Answer 1

The only way to know for sure will be to test! This will help:

Ultimately, though, I think that this is luck of the draw (Genetics). Likely, these are the traits that made it to dominance, and bloom enhancement, as far as color goes, may not be possible.

Otherwise, amend as soil tests recommend, and you will get the best results possible, regardless.
