June 25, 2017A.After the seed pods form on the plant you can collect them when they have dried. Give them additional drying time on a paper plate before storing.
To aid in germination you should scratch the seed pod with a file or knife and soak in boiling water. Let the seed cool for 24 hours, then plant directly into a sunny area of the garden during the growing season.
Established Mimosa trees often self seed, and you can dig up the seedlings.Was this answer useful?00

43701Q.Chocolate Mimosa in Ohio?
I ordered seeds for a chocolate mimosa. I receive 5 seeds and put them in the fridge (as instructed.)I finally got them out, knicked and soaked the for 24 hours and got them planted in peat moss. (Sealed in saran wrap and warm on the window sill) I didn't notice that they were zone 7. I'm 6a here in Ohio. What are the chances that they will survive? :(

NW2 6RQQ.Invasion of mimosa in London
Is there a body of people in London who stop garden centres from selling potted trees that look cute when small but become invasive, such as the mimosas, fruit and even those used in our streets that quickly become huge. Especially as people are now putting up extentions that are so ugly or over look people that they think these type of trees will quickly deal with the problem, only to find trees spreading across their own garden or invading others and blocking their light. This causes too many problems with neighbours to deal with and it is becoming a huge problem in the Dollis Hill area in London.

The leaves are drooping. could it be water logged?
- Answered by

September 5, 2017A.Drooping can be caused by water issues; either too much or too little.
Well draining soil is very important.You will need to check the soil. Dig down 6 inches and see if the soil is dry or wet.

HertfordshireQ.Mimosa Acacia Dealbata
For some years I have grown this Mimosa in a large tub. It is about 7 feet tall, and is pruned every spring. It stands out in the sun all summer, and becomes smothered in flower buds towards the autumn. I bring it in to my conservatory for the winter, where it has plenty of light and is frost free. Every year it gradually loses most of the flower buds, as they turn brown and fall off. What can I do to stop this please?

Certified ExpertA.It should be fertilized every spring, and it might do some good with trimming off the bottom 1/3 of the root mass, and replacing the soil underneath. This article will give you more information on the tree: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/mimosa/growing-silk-trees.htm
