It might be quicker and easier to meet you one day out at 29 & 33. LOL

Yep...trash tree...but lovely. If the area around you is "mowable", you should be able to keep them under control.

I love the filtered sunlight under them...I'm sure chickens would love them too.

I'm going to plant a crepe myrtle in the courtyard of our coops. I think thats a good compromise...it will stay manageable and not spread everywhere.

No, keep your tree!! i planted 2 of them , sadly 1 didnt make it!! so i will be planting another one in the spring.

We have one. It smells DIVINE when blooming. Don't worry about sprouts. Ours can be pulled out easily. It's not like a lilac bush or something.

Alright, the Ayes have it! The tree stays. The fact that it's 26 and windy might have something to do with it also. Hope I don't live to regret it...

Who ever wants saplings, please remind me in the spring and I'll help out HennysMom if I can. Then again, I might just mow them all over in a fit of rage

I have mimosa trees, but they are the red blooming mimosas. They have a bloom that looks like a bunch of grapes, except they are red. They still have their leaves, so maybe they don't lose them in the winter.

My house in Ga had the pink ones. They were so pretty when they bloomed.

My mimosa tree is 3 years old and makes the most gorgeous pink flowers every spring. It's in my front yard, planted between a sweet gum and a white dogwood..the mimosa is my favorite tree! I love the long branches. I planted a baby next to my koi pond and it is about 3 feet tall now so next year my pond will have nice shade in the backyard from it. I love, love, love a mimosa!!!!!
