It is native to East and South Asia but has been spread by humans to almost every continent. Appreciated for its ornamental qualities, this albizia boasts very decorative pink pom-pom-like flowers, and its dissected foliage and spreading habit provide light shade. However, its ability to easily naturalize, coupled with intensive reproduction through both sexual and asexual means, is noteworthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Little History\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eE.H. Wilson Mimosa is a true survival story. Ernest Henry Wilson, also known as Ernest Henry \"Chinese\" Wilson, is responsible for introducing thousands of Asian plant species to the West. In the early 1900s, he became a collector for the Arnold Arboretum in Boston, Massachusetts. During a visit to Korea in 1918, he collected seeds from a mimosa cultivated in his hotel courtyard. Only a few seeds were collected and brought back to Boston. Four years later, the seedlings were planted in the Arboretum, but after the first winter, all \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ebut one\u003c\/strong\u003e... died. This little champion was named E.H. Wilson Mimosa, and thanks to the efforts of E.H. Wilson and the Arnold Arboretum, we now have a beautiful tropical tree capable of withstanding the winters of New England and Southern Ontario.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FleurExcel Inc.","offers":[{"title":"1-2 min.","offer_id":48223316082992,"sku":"","price":32.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/4658\/6672\/files\/Mamosashutterstock_1081259711_480x480_11318f21-79c9-4f72-a7f8-c024262176fa.webp?v=1713908712","url":"https:\/\/fleurexcel.com\/en\/products\/mimosa-rustique-albizia-julibrissin-e-h-wilson","provider":"FleurExcel Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
