- In this video, I'll be talking about the benefits of the Mimosa tree. The Mimosa tree, also known as the Persian Silk tree has medicinal properties and is a nurse tree. Which means it's good at taking care of other plants and helping them out.

You did not mention that Mimosa tree seeds CAN KILL OR GIVE SEIZURES.
So nobody eat them or give them to livestock or pets. Pretty important detail.
I was told by multiple people that the mimosa tree was invasive and hard to kill. And that it had essentially started out as a weed. I have one that is growing rapidly and want to get rid of it in Tallahassee. They’re all over the place here.

There is something necessary to consider, perhaps look into here concerning America and Israel and Almighty God...A 3 cord tie that cannot be broken. There are Promises established by God Himself. Whether believed or not by any reader, They are written.
The Word of God is Eternally solid. Make no mistake.
Rock Solid.
Nations who stand beside Israel will be blessed and strong in every way...those nations who do not will be condemned.
(I paraphrase the Bible)
One only has to take a deep look into the past 70 years of our Country....and begin to ask poignant questions, such as who has been at the helm of America?
In what way did they try to steer America away from being united to Israel? What were the political and spiritual consequences of these decisions?
Who was at the helm when God was removed from our schools?
The downhill slide began before the 50's, yes,...but the nail in the coffin of removing God from the schools, removing His Honored place... only accomplished accelerating the downhill slide of America on every level.
One has only to match up our America to the Promises of God to see where we missed the mark. Many many questions.
Only one solution.
Return back to God.

The mimosa tree is one of my favorites ! 💖🌸🌸🌸
What I love about the mimosa is how it is so much cooler underneath the branches in the summer.
Love this! I love Mimosa trees and learned so much from this video! Thank you so much!
I love mimosa trees I have two of them in my backyard my whole house smells of those blooms in the summer
I learned loads watching this, thank you.
Thank you for watching!
I've been wanting this tree for 2 years. I happened to see one today a my local nursery. I purchased a 7 ft tree for $80. I'm excited... I tend to over thing everything 😒.. ♥️ thanks for the video.
I don't know what makes me want to grow it more, that HOP farms says it will make me happy or just how fun it is to say Mimosa
Haha. Mimosa mimosa mimosa. Your right! I cant help but smile when I say it.
Not only happy but it can makes you to speak with God😂😂😂😂
Good video. One of my favorite nitrogen-fixing chop and drop trees.
I made a note for getting Mimosa when I get out of the city
I loved the information in this video.
Thank you so much Lisa!
I have a mimosa tree that’s like five trees in one at the bottom of the trunk.I probably could put a big bowl birdbath in it.Smells good,great shade and I trim the old branches that die on it every year or so.My tree is over 10 years old.I have a second one I been caring for for the past few years.
Thank you for providing some very helpful information. Have a great day
Thank you for watching! I hope your day is just as great!
We just moved to our homestead in Missouri a couple of months ago and I kept seeing these trees in bloom on others' properties and they are STILL in bloom months later. Hello, pollinators! I wanted to plant one, but didn't know what it was called. Thank you! New sub.
Awesome! Congrats on your homestead. Glad the video helped yall.
One of the only compound pinnates that grow in central Texas. love seeing them (prolific like runner-variety bamboo too)
Nice they grow in Texas too. They are beautiful.
They grow do well up here in the panhandle as well.
I know this tree. I also know a much larger tree with bigger leaves that has the same kind of flowers, we called it Gwango tree in my country it bares dark brown or black pods with succulent brown sugarlike sap that cattle and goats love to eat. I think it's also in the mimosa family too, but I'm not sure.
they coppice well, actually fantastic
I have one in my front yard in a 30x20 space. I cut it back to about 6 or 7 ft every year and limb it up tp about 4 ft. It looks like an umbrella. It usually reaches about 20 ft by fall.
Nice. I have one. I love it.
You'll get my mimosa out of my cold dead hands. LOVE them. Am not in an area where they're unmanageable though.
From what I understand, most of the nitrogen does not leach out of the root nodules. It is invested in foliage and growth. In order to recover it, you have to be mulching and composting the leaf litter.
Or simply chop and drop. This wood breaks down very quickly. Is not really good for durable goods
I miss that tree!
It's also very invasive.
Arizona has 2 varieties. Neither will get over 8 feet tall. They make very good informal hedges and can be foraged.
Love mimosas. Have one in my side yard and have started a bonsai grow from 2 of the seeds. Growing indoors. Still currently green and growing while all others are dormant. Really excited for the overall outcome. I've put a few videos on my channel but will be posting more on the mimosa bonsai. Thanks for the content. New sub
Mammosa bonsai? I'm gonna have to check that out later. Thanks for stopping by and let me know.
@@HonestOpenPermaculture they're (same pot) in the process. This would be the first dormancy stage if they were outdoors. I plan to bring the 2 trees to a junction with each other in the shape of a heart hopefully using grafting at their leaders. Not sure if it will work, I'm throwing unconventional tactics at them just because. But if it does, it will end as 2 root balls powering 1 tree. I'm in the process of training them over now to start a weaving process before I start the shape of the heart. Thinking of doing a DIY video on led lights so they can be grown indoors sufficiently without the high cost of manufactured indoor lighting. Thanks for the reply.
@@JustinJoyinglife that's cool man. I love the unconventional tactics. I do the same. Lol
@@HonestOpenPermaculture I just uploaded a video on my little ones. They're currently in a deep pot, but that's for a hidden Nebari effect I'm going for later down the line. Unconventional for the win lol.
Don't eat the seeds they can KILL or give SEIZURES,
the most important detail this video missed
We love mimosa trees!! We don't have any of our own here and I hear that they are extremely hard to propagate....may have to dig one up and hope for the best. They are my better halfs favorite tree. Thanks for the nuggets, Bill!! Cheers!!
I dug up 4 total and transplanted them. 3 of them made it one of them died. The mature trees drop a ton of seeds every year I haven't tried growing from seed yet. That sounds like a good project for the fall.
Sure does!!! My neighbor has a few...I'm going to go ask him if I can dig up a few smaller ones....
@Noah Tunnell I never got a chance to ask him. Surely will this spring though!
good stuff.
I just Subscribed to your channel on today July 9-2022) love the information on the Mimosa tree ,thumbs up and thanks for sharing with us.
I think I found a native relative to this in the Midwest, the flowers are smaller and more coral or orange colored than Albizia Julbrissin, and I think the seed pods are different too. Some of them have thorns, and one is broad leafed. They all seem closer to desmanthus Illinoensis than albizia Julbrissin
Idk
Thanks ,, I did not know that about the tree.
Welcome, it a very versatile plant.
The smell of this tree brings back such wonderful childhood memories! Unfortunately I’m in zone 6 A and it does not grow well in my area😥
Indoors💗
We in WV zone 6b. They are everywhere and do great, where are you in zone 6?
I have like 8 mimosas and one of them is massive I didn’t realize the mimosa was at fault for the extreme growth of my garden
Glad to see you post the benefits of a nitrogen-fixing tree that is too often only labelled as an invasive species.
I like to look at the positive in things. With of course keeping in mind the the negative. Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much we thought we had a yard full of useless weeds. Appreciate all your information.
My favorite and they are everywhere in Alabama.
I want a mimosa tree that comes with orange and champagne premixed in the glasses, please. 🌱😊🌱
That would be awesome!
I love mimosa pudica plant!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
These trees have killed all my blackberries
@@FearIsaLiarhow do you know
Nope! I'm full on digesting this just because HOP Farms told me I could.😆
Great info Bill!
🤣🤣. Thank you GDP!
We just planted one hope it grows!
They are quite Hardy trees we shouldn't have too much of a problem. Did you buy the tree or transplant the tree from somewhere else?
@@HonestOpenPermaculture transplant
@@vibebin9089 I have transplanted a few into my young food forest. As long as you got a lot of the long taproot you should be fine.
The flowers provide nectar and pollen for Honey Bees. The honey has a unique taste.
Beautiful tree if you can keep it from spreading (invasive species in the US). There are ornamental variants being bred that do not bear seeds.
Had a HUGE one fall in my back yard. She kept growing sideways and made sun room for about 17 more to shoot up around her.
Nice! I would only keep one or two shoots. If you're able to dig up the other ones and plant them you can get $40 a pop in about a year.
Oh this was years ago
Thanx so much! I love this tree. In 96 I planted them all around my house for shade, they got huge and of course beautiful. I had 8 and lost three so far. Ugh! seems they only get so huge. I cant find the pruned ones any where, only ones that are growing in the straight stick. I have never got starts or even had luck planting the seeds, Zippo/nuttin, I’m in SW Washington and looking for more. Ideas? Great video btw.
Thank you! Can you try to replant from the seed pods the others drop?
I have these growing volunteer in my yard thinking they were weeds, pull them up over the years. However I have a few that are growing, just finding out what the name of this plant is. I will keep it but was wondering if I keep it pruned will that keep it from growing huge.
Is there a type of worm that can get on mimosa trees that can kill apple trees? My family member was talking to me about it and it seemed to raise concern towards them. Thanks and great video.
I've got a potted mimosa tree that's around 14 yrs old, I've done 4 transplants going from ground to now its biggest pot. It had its first blooming 3 yrs ago, and now with its biggest pot, it's growing out the seed pods. Any advice or tips, with how far I've gotten? The growing area I'm its in is central Texas.
Did you ever make a video on the autumn olive? I tried searching for it, but couldn't find anything.
you need to check out an ode to this tree - UNDER THE MIMOSA TREE - by james dean bradfield. simply, 1 of the best songs you'll ever hear
I'll check it out
@@HonestOpenPermaculture feedback required lol
Our mimosa trees trees have small yellow ball shaped flowers that smell very strong. . I’ve never seen this type
Hi, thanks for the video. Was it Albizia julibrissin?
I know this video is old. But do you have any mimosa hostilis seeds?? I want to grow it out back of my house but everything I find online is only for the bark. I want to grow it
Excuse me sir, I was wondering if you have ever utilized the mimosa's flower for tea? Just curious if there is a demonstration and particular way you prepare it.
Thx, -J.
I have not and please don't. I heard that this mimosa tree is not the mimosa that you should be digesting. But you can use the flowers as a perfume or steep them in water to make your house smell good.
Actually, yes, you can. The bark, young leaves and flowers are edible, and can be used as medicinal sources. The bean pods are toxic. Do not consume them.
I searched out this video seeking how to prune a mimosa, as in how much one can "chop and drop as they call it here. One thing I noticed in this video as it's not discussed as to the mess these leave. While I love them out in the back 40 so-to-speak, next to the house or vehicles especially, they are a nightmare. First all the flower dropping then all the stickiness all over things
When you live with nature there's lessons you have to learn. For instance don't park under a mimosa tree or a oak tree or a black walnut tree or a mulberry tree. Lol And I don't look at it as a mess. Nature doesn't make a mess. What the tree is doing is dropping the nutrients it took from the ground to make those flowers so it can make it again next year. If you're taking away the flowers/leaves because its a mess then eventually the tree will use up all the nutrients in the ground it needs to make the flowers/leaves. See the trees are just trying to be self sustainable not make a mess.🤷♂️
Got it. Thx!
@@HonestOpenPermaculture exactly....if the sap of a tree is not the issue a flock of roosting birds is a helluva problem with paint on our vehicles...🤣🤣🤣.
Welcome Jaisalmer Rajasthan
Good stuff thanks for sharing. Can i grow Mimosa from cuttings? I am in zone 9 in Florida.
We just found a approx. year old one and it was growing in rocks. We grabbed it and took the partial root and planted. drenched with lime and bone meal and wowza! we have a bud!!!!! We are in Southern NC! You can do it!!!
@@danacrosby3120 Thanks so much!
I want to be very happy which part do I feed my wife.lmao
Fun fact: that tree produces the same chemical that your brain produces which induces dreams.
That's why I'm here😉
Fun fact: it’s called serotonin
@@Rameusfun fact: it's called DMT
@@happyhippie79 fun fact: look again
DMT actually produced by the body at birth
Would composting the leaves and flower be harmful if I used it on my garden? I'm new to this and I have 3 of these trees on my property and still learning stuff every day.
No. They'd make good green manure that's what chop an drop is. It'll break down and compost eventually with heat and rain and will put nutrients back into your soil.
I did not know they were edible! Thanks for the tip.
No problem. Thanks for watching!
everything is eatable ...question is what will become of you after digestion
@@HonestOpenPermaculture do you have any direction you can point me in about finding some information regarding ingesting it without hallucinating
Thanks good video.
I have a mimosa tree that is damaging my vinyl fence.
Any ideas
I have fixed this Mimosa problem before. Just remove the fence. ;)
🤗🤩👌
Gasp! I was about to cut a bunch down.
U already did not sure I regret it highly evasive
Can they be grown solely indoors?
I called this the Doctor Seuss tree.
Wait, isn’t this the shy plant? That shrinks when touched? Or is that another one?
I thought what was a Mimosa tree and it had string bean looking seeds on the limbs. Do you have any idea the tree which looks like a Mimosa which has the string bean looking seeds?
Hi, I have some Mimosa tree's growing in my yard and they have pink flowers and a green then turns light tan or light brownish long bean looking seed pods.
is this mimosa hostilis or binomial albizia julibrissin?
Whats it mean with a tree that looks like this Mimosa but has yellow flowers and no spots on the branches.
What about the seeds? Are they edible? Great information 👍.I got a few mimosa trees but had no idea they were good for tea. 💚🌳🌸🌸🌸🌸🌳💚
No. As far as I know the seeds ant not edible. Thank you for watching!
@@HonestOpenPermaculture thank you for replying and being so helpful. Truly appreciate it 💯✔🙏
Seed pods are poisonous.
SEEDS CAN CAUSE SEIZURES AND DEATH!!!
@@NoNORADon911 Thank you! I was wondering
What are the medicinal benefits of the flowers and bark?
Didn’t learn a thing except that it’s a mimosa tree.
The seeds are deadly if eaten
Do the leaves sleep at night, or move as to sleep after you touch the leaves?
Hi, I have 2, 25ft tall Mimosa's growing in my front yard. Their leaves do seem to close together at night. They resemble 'touch-me-nots' to me. Although they don't really move when you touch them, or if they do it must be slowly lol. My 16 son tried to get them to move by touch
The root bark is highly concentrated with DMT
Interesting. Is there methods to extract the DMT?
@@HonestOpenPermaculture yes. It takes some basic chemistry skills. Extraction with solvents and crystallization and precipitation of crystals then separation. It's done very often by self taught chemist. Usually they spend bookoos of cash ordering online. Not knowing the stuff is everywhere
@@HonestOpenPermaculture a simple acid to base extraction with optional recrystallization
Where could i get a tree to plant ?
@@johnthornton4266
Some people say this Asian mimosa doesn't have dmt. They say people are confusing it with the south American mimosa hostilis/jurema preta/tepezcohuite etc.. are you sure this one too? I would think it should have some dmt if not more since they are identical.
This one is a Mimosa Hostilis? Or other type?
Don't plant one of these trees close to the sewer drain pipe system. They will get into the pipe and fill the pipe with fine roots.
I'm curious on what trees close to a sewer drain won't do that?
where do id purchase seeds of the Mimosa?
What zone?? I'm a 6
Can this be planted 5 ft from house?
You probably could plant it that close, but if I were going to do that I might put it in a big a$$ flower pot so you could move it if need be. Atleast while it's 1 to 4 years old. We have some Mimosa's growing in our yard about 15 ft from our house. Easy to trim due to thin-ish branches. Lovely tree tho, always has humming birds on it and we love em
Hmmmm.. I just brought one of these home and was thinking it gets too big for my space. Then I’m thinking how my tomatoes are burning up and I had to buy shade cloth to protect them from our Texas full sun. I don’t want a full shade yard but.. nitrogen fixing and some protection.. maybe?
We have 3 Mimosa's in our front yard. The branches are thin-ish so easy to trim if need be. We get humming birds and bee's on them frequently. The bee's always stay high by the flowers and never ever mess with us. The flowers are soft and fuzzy and my wife and I just love em. Do it! Plant it up homie lol
@@AdamBogan Thank you for your input! How tall / wide did yours get? I had an arborist come and told me to get it in the ground and that it won't get as tall as most of the videos I've watched say. I'm wondering if there are different varieties?
@@hereiknowmyself-jeaniealks377 Hi, um I just planted mine last April. They were about 1ft tall when I got them and now they are pushing 2 feet in their first season which is amazing I think. I'm told that if I place them 6 feet apart they will get about 20 to 30 feet tall maybe, place them closer together and they won't get as tall, maybe 15 to 20 feet. So one way out in the open may get very tall, and one that has to share it's area maybe not so much. You can also trim them if they get to cray cray
@@hereiknowmyself-jeaniealks377 p.s. the house we bought a year ago had 3 Mimosa tree's out front. They have pretty pink fuzzy flowers and the humming birds chill there often. I read up on them and I guess they are nitrogen fixing and the roots even contain D.M.T. We are convinced that the old couple that had the home before us were awesome sauce. Mimosa's grow super fast and are considered to some as "invasive species". When someone tells me that I say, "I know you are but what am I?" lol Humans.....
@@AdamBogan Thank you Adam! That is very helpful information! I do love how they look and the benefits seem worth making sure to pick the seed pods in the season.
It sure does help with depression
mmm DMT helps with many things
how you using it?
@@jakblackburn329 you can make ayahuasca from the roots
Let's get a tea recipe please
I don't have one. Remember the disclaimer I gave you about not making tea out of the tree just because I said you might be able to. Well turn out that there us multiple different types of mimosa plants and the tree is not the one you want to digest.
I have some but the flowers are yellow?
has anyone made a non psychoactive tea with this for health benefits
How come the leafs don't close, that's what they supposed to do right??
what does Chop and drop mean?
Just make sure they’re not invasive in your area right?!?
The tree's or the people? Lord, I got people everywurrr over here!!! And they areeee invasive. lol
oh gosh...please don't take the bark, you will kill it!!! I am fighting to save a 40-100 year old memosa tree that only has a chunk of bark missing... It is so sad to see this beautiful giant dying during this drought, and i am watering it everyday... Making some advanced unseen or stupid attempts to save it, made a video because that will make more sense...
Sorry to hear about your Momosa man, I hope it works out. We have two 25 footers in our front yard and a 10 foot smaller one nearby the other 2. Make sure if you haven't already, to look for solutions online. How much water, when, etc. I hope it makes it through.
yes, its a shame people don't know this!
The bark is generally taken from pruned clippings. I’ve been pruning mine for 21 years. Pruning won’t hurt it at all.
is mimosa tree same as the sensitive plant?
No
They propagate easily!
Highly invasive u will have them popping up everywhere
You dont get a damn heart!
@@DagothChad should I be offered
@@brianramsey3824 not really
They are difficult to contain--every edge of my yard has saplings I have to cut down all the time. They grow really quick too. Although a pain I still like how it looks and the hummingbirds love the flowers. I just keep chopping them down til I'm too old :)
@@DagothChad If theres one theres half a dozen within spitting distance! They are also very messy! Always dropping flowers etc. A royal pain in the rear they are!
Have you heard of Paul Stamets, hes a mycologist and talks a lot about the benefits of mushrooms. You mentioned mycelium networks
so I figure you know a thing or two about the topic for your permaculture.
Yeah the 1st time I was turned on to Paul was when I saw him on the Joe rogan Podcast.
Mycelium Running was an enlightening book by Stamets.
I live in the low desert of Az. I have a tree that looks like that but flowers look a lot like it n
But white flowers in spring within 100s of brown seed pods all summer and now I have trees coming up all over. What a mess. These trees are all over my area. It grew to 17 ft in less than one year and I want it gone.
Looking for seeds please. In arkansas
Can extract DMT from these…
Does it have dmt??
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Advice. Don't plant near your home. Ants love this sweet tree.
I've have a couple mimosa tree and I didn't know anything other than the seeds are toxic to pets and humans.
WHEREIS YOUR FARM?
"do your research before trying to ingest" wink wink. lol
Kill a mimosa tree? Those things are immortal. We’ve cut them down to the ground and they come back with a vengeance lol.
I had a storm blow one over, root ball on its side, pocket underneath it, branchs changed direction and kept growing.
I thought these are called silk trees.
please plant carefully. this tree is invasive if you live in north america. it’s beneficial but will harm and outcompete your native plants, which will be responsible for keeping your local ecosystem stable. if the seeds spread they may damage undisturbed natural areas nearby.
WHICH mimosa tree is this? Obviously there are different ones ....As far as I know the one used for "medicinal" is the mimosa hostilis which is not US indigenous and rather uncommon as far as I know....Huge difference between one variety and another ....some are indigenous and some you might have to import? Good thing you advise people not to trust your information!
Here are some I guess US varieties~~>
Silk Tree (Albizia julibrissin)
This most common variety produces pink powder puff blooms and reaches a height of about 20 feet.
Catclaw Mimosa (Mimosa aculeaticarpa)
Classified as a perennial tree or shrub, this plant is found in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
Fragrant Mimosa (Mimosa borealis)
Described as a perennial shrub and noted for its fragrant blossoms, this plant can be found in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas
Lollipop Mimosa (Mimosa pellita)
This perennial shrub grows best in Florida, Texas and Puerto Rico.
Fourvalve Mimosa (Mimosa quadrivalvis)
Classified as a perennial vine or herb, it is found in Texas.
Giant False Sensitive Plant (Mimosa diplotricha)
The federal classification of this perennial vine is noxious weed. It grows in the southern part of the United States.
Thank you for watching and for you input. That's exactly why I gave a disclaimer my friend. It is a Albizia Julibrissin.
Who is here from DMT?
😮I am here from DMT!
Alot lol!
