Albizia julibrissin - Mimosa?

If it is mimosa, then I name it "Junk"! ;)

It is a very invasive tree in the southeast and obviously working it's way north.

Here is a link that might be useful: Albizia julibrissin

I have acres of them and you sure don't want to get
them started in your yard. I am surprised they are
that far north.

I remember seeing veritable forests of their pink blossoms in July and August growing up in Queens, NY. They have been in NYC for decades (not new at all). The only place I see them today is on the NJ highways (local NJ nurseries usually do not stock them). Sorry to hear that a tree that is so nostalgic to me is such weedy problem.

Thanks for your help! Off course now I am sad that the tree I was hoping to plant is invasive and detrimental to native trees. Now I certainly dont want to get it in my yard.

What other alternatives are there? I am looking for some thing comparable in size and something that doesnt bloom at the same time as all the cherries, magnolias, crab apples and dogwoods!

Thanks again

That there is plenty of sun where this tree will go.

Consider Chionanthus virginicus, Oxydendrum arboreum, both natives...
