Description
Albizia julibrissin is a graceful, fast-growing deciduous tree native to Asia, widely admired for its airy foliage and beautiful, fragrant pink flowers. It typically reaches 5 to 12 meters in height, with a broad, spreading canopy formed by delicate, fern-like leaves that close at night or during rain.
From late spring through summer, the tree produces silky, powder-puff-like blossoms in shades of pink and white, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing good tolerance to heat and drought once established.
Commonly planted as an ornamental in gardens, parks, and along streets, Albizia julibrissin adds a tropical and elegant touch to landscapes.
