Field Notes

Description:

This tree has pretty puffy flowers and they spread this area and are very easily spread where they are not wanted. They are almost like weeds. Persian silk tree or pink siris or Mimosa are all common names in the USA.

I hate them because they are all over my yard as weeds...They are hard to pull up too, requiring pruning sheers. Plus they grow so fast and get so huge they are a pain the the neck. They are pretty for about 2 weeks when they bloom.
