I will have to smell my grandma's mimosa when it blooms. I never thought about nutmeg spice. I love her mimosa. I plan on getting one of her seedlings this year to plant in a pot so I can plant here at home. That is my favorite tree in the whole world...for now! LOL.

Awesome! I feel the humid breese of The Black Sea! Magnificent and tranquille verdure! The purple glow!

Does anyone know how or how big these trees need to be in order to bloom?

I have a little one - about 5' - that had lots of flowers last year for the first time, after 2 or three the year before.
This year it has been very wet and not as sunny as usual and it only had one flower.
Not sure how old it is - it looked fairly recently planted when we arrived 3 years ago and it has grown about a foot since than.
Hope this is a bit of help

We had to cut one of our older trees down recently, but have many 'children' growing. One of the descendants is in a pot...only about 10 inches tall, and it bloomed this past spring. We have found this tree to be extremely easy to grow -- drought tolerant, frost tolerant, wonderfully exuberant! We have seen these trees growing in yards all over our neighborhood.

I am watching a lovely mimosa with a single trunk and arching branches that is growing right next to a large street name sign at a busy intersection. It still has blooms, in mid-November, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana! How unusual is this?

Is it unusually warm there, or what? Blooming stops here in the summertime...but, maybe with climate change and all....things are going to be different?

Actually, this is the only tree in town that I have seen still with blooms, for at least the past month. That makes me think this is an usual situation.

We like the unusual when they are good things.
