The mimosa tree grows beautiful yellow flowers and it a great shade tree. Don't let them go bad send address and there yours. Each pod has at least 8 if not more. Tell me how many pods not seeds. Thanks

Good luck Gizmo. We have a mimosa, well actually it is my neighbors, hanging over our shed. It attracts the most beautiful butterflies when it is blooming. And I am always pulling the saplings up out of the flower bed around it.
Everytime I have tried transplanting them to pots the squirrels always dig them up...they don't touch the ones in the ground, just ones in pots.
I will have a safe place for them this year when my potting house gets put up so I will be trying to transplant again this summer, I would like to have a couple in the front yard eventually.

I am intrigued by the idea of yellow mimosa flowers, too.
Sounds exciting, do you have any pictures, Gizmo?

WOW kool tree, found this on search:
Mimosa is a genus of about 400 species of herbs and shrubs, in the subfamily Mimosoideae of the legume family Fabaceae, with evenly bipinnate leaves. The best-known species is Mimosa pudica, which is also known as the sensitive plant or sleeping grass because of the way it folds its leaves down when touched or exposed to heat; many others also fold their leaves in the evening. It is native to southern Mexico and Central America but is widely cultivated elsewhere for its curiosity value, both as an indoor plant in temperate areas, and outdoors in the tropics. Outdoor cultivation has led to weedy invasion in some areas, notably Hawaii...
...In Russia, it is customary to present women with yellow mimosas on International Women's Day (March eighth). This flower is from the Acacia dealbata (Silver Wattle), which is not a true Mimosa.
