If you don't want a multi-stemmed tree, which many mimosas are, you can remove the extra canes at the base. Select the healthiest looking stem and remove the others. You may need to limit how many your remove at one time. Here is more:

My mimosa tree has been in my yard for well over a year, yet the base hasn't gotten any thicker even though it has grown in height well over a foot and a half. It is so top heavy now it is beginning to bow over and I'm afraid it will snap off in a heavy wind. It is staked up the trunk and is also staked on both sides with a guy wire between the stakes. What can I do? Do I dare remove the center stake?
I would remove the center stake. The tree needs to be able to sway a bit with the breeze, this will help it strengthen. After reading this article below, you may want to remove the outer stakes too pretty soon. At least replace the wire with a softer and looser tie.

ng the suckers off around the bottom, but some seem to be loosening the strip of bark thats left. Should i cut it back to healthy bark and start over, or can i save the tree? Thank you for this service.
If the damage to the bark is severe and extensive, it may be best to cut back to healthy bark and start over. However, if the damage is minimal and the remaining branch is still healthy, there is a chance to save the tree. In such cases, it is recommended to provide proper care and support to the tree, including regular watering, fertilization, and protection from further deer damage.
Typically, these trees are quite hardy, and they will come back from severe damage and pruning. This collection of articles will help you with your tree:

I bought seeds for summer chocolate mimosa but leaves are green
Chocolate mimosa leaves typically start to change color from green to burgundy around 2-3 years of age when grown from seed. However, the exact timing can vary depending on factors such as growing conditions, climate, and genetics.
