Mimosa - Albizia julibrissin eucalyptus Cold hardiness: zone 3-9The mimosa tree is a fast growing small tree with gorgeous, delicate pink flowers and fern like foliage. Suited best as a specimen tree to give a tropical vibe to a backyard, mimosa can quickly provide nice shade for your patio. Interestingly, the leaves will close when touched, as well as at night. Plus, it is drought tolerant once established and can handle heat quite well. It does spread by the copious seeds it produces, so please be aware of that.
