Good news from the mimosa-obsessive! The tree is happy! It is in an arch curling from top to the railing of the front steps and behind them (on the outer side of the steps) which is causing all the new growth and new leaves to grow upwards toward my bedroom window!
I'll post new photos as it grows.
Also the mimosa "knots" I was trying to make by bending saplings around in a loop and then trying to "tie" the knot by moving the new growth through the loop are doing well. After breaking two and grafting them with love and prayer I got the third to knot without any drama! The two that broke and I grafteds ot themselves are sprouting new leaves! Hooray!
