I have about a 3ft. sprout a friend gave me and I have always loved the look of the mimosa. I have a dogwood and a crepemyrtle, am thinking about putting it between the two. I have a cranberry tree there looks awful. Ok its near the drive way, I have a little yard. But I have always admired the tree. The crepe myrtle is pretty messy too, I have let it get about 15ft. tall, just to see how big it can get. hhaha It got big and its beautiful.
