Reviewed By: Kristin Daniel (Mt. Sterling, Ky) This is a wonderful tree! As far a shading goes it is one of the best, the blooms are a beautiful color pink and if the wind is blowing you can get a whiff of the beautiful fragrance as far as 10 to 15 feet away. They are very, very fast growing trees.  -  Wednesday, May 23, 2007 Mixed results Reviewed By: Was Hopeful (Berkeley Springs, WV) I love the look of the Mimosa Tree and they grow so well around my town I ordered a pair last season for my front yard. One of the trees has done well with wide fern like branches and many tiny leaves, but little to no height after one season. The other tree is just a mournful little stick with one leaf at the very bottom of his sad little trunk. What a disapointment, I'll have to pull the guy up, as I am sure it's dead!  -  Tuesday, August 21, 2007 Good Customer Service Reviewed By: Terry (Marshfield, MO`) Bought 3 of these; two are doing great, one died. Gurney's stands behind their products well and I have another coming to replace the dead one in the spring. Well satisfied!  -  Tuesday, January 15, 2008 Invasive Reviewed By: Jamie (Mountville, Pennsylvania) Although this is a beautiful plant, it is on the foreign invasive plant list for Pennsylvania  -  Sunday, April 20, 2008 Wild Mimosa Reviewed By: Becky Lawson (Harrison, Ohio) The Mimosa tree does well, and actually grows wild in the south near rivers & streams. It likes ground water. Customers who are having problems might consider the spot they chose to plant it in. A low soggy spot would be great. I had one for ten years before I moved, and I found that cleaning out and cutting back near the center base made it thrive. I did live near the Ohio river in Cleves, Ohio, but I wouldn't hesitate to plant one here, because I have some low soggy spots in my yard. I hope this helps, because the tree is beautiful even after it stops blooming. Becky Lawson
