Growing up in Louisiana, we had several mimosa trees in our yard. Each one of us kids claimed one as our own! We would climb them and my sister and I would take the green seeds from the seed pods and thread them with needle and thread to make necklaces. As they browned they were very pretty. Love knowing now that the blooms have medicinal value as well!
I'm from Louisiana too and the smell of mimosa flowers are something truly special. I am excited to start foraging some
I live in Louisiana too.
Another thing is that Mimosa trees are nitrogen fixers so they are a good tree to add to a food forest and it can be Coppiced or pollarded to provide a good height to harvest blooms and allow you access to a ready supply of bark. 2 trees will give you all you need using both technics.
So very true and I'm glad you made this point. Very easy to grow from seed as well. It is known as a pioneering plant, or one of the few trees that transitions an overgrown field into the first stages of developing a forest. Fantastic mottled shade tree for tender-young successional plants and, as you mentioned, is a nitrogen fixer. I originally put mine in for chop-and-drop but I've let the lower limbs grow laterally and about four of my chickens now roost in it, so funny. And with the flowers we have yet another benefit from them.
Thank you for your comment that Mimosa is a nitrogen fixer. And good to add to a food forest. I know about the flowers, but what is the bark used for?
Mimosa’s is one of my favorite trees! I call them “the original butterfly trees”! Their scent is heavenly! I love how they open their leaves at sunrise and at dusk they close their leaves...almost like the tree tucks itself to bed by drawing the leaves in. My sweet Aunt Gracie, now deceased, took a sapling from our yard. She transplanted the little sapling back to her home in N.J. I would see the tree every year we would visit her. She placed a bench swing under her tree once it matured ❤️❤️❤️
What a sweet story! Thank you for sharing
@@TheHoneystead you’re welcome...love those memories! I’ve got my stock tank pool placed under my mimosa tree...love floating around , hearing my heart beat while I’m floating and watching bumble bees, honey bee, butterflies and humming birds enjoy the nectar ❤️. My grandmother called them mamosie trees...lol
I’m going to try picking some flowers tomorrow to make your recipe. Thank you 🙏🏻 for the information and recipe!

Good information! My wife is always planting “pretty” things, to include these plants, and my attitude is if it can’t feed us or be beneficial toward our well being then we shouldn’t waste time on it. Thank you for the education once again!
I can only imagine this. In Nigeria, we have them lined up. And I look at the plant with such eyes as you do. But now,
Love that your mum is a down to earth a real mum, no airs and graces. Love her immensely as I can assure you, you will miss her cuddles one day. The memories you both are creating are priceless. Take care, love from Australia xxxx
If tomorrow all TH-cam channels were gone and only 1 was left @s long as it was Yours I would thank my lucky stars and watch every day and time i can. Thank you ladies so very much.
We dug up and replanted a Mimosa tree that was growing in front of a barn door when we moved into a new place. It had a very rough start, being in the way of the door. It had been cut a few times and broken in some places.
In the 2 years since we transplanted, it has absolutely flourished and more than quadrupled in size! We finally got our first blossoms on it this summer! So exciting! 🌸
The best time to replant mimosa tree is in the month of May
I made a tincture with the bark. Use a potato peeler... you just want the outer bark and with the green. From the info i gathered the bark is more grounding where as the flower is more of a lighter "fluffy" feel just as the flower looks. Both have great benefits. God is so amazing with his creations for us. 🩵🙏✝️🕊🌱🩵We are in east Texas on a 1 mile creek. The beautiful mimosa grows abundantly here. ❤
I love these trees. So many people consider them pests. But I just think they are so pretty
People tend to hate these trees in my area because they are "non-native" and considered invasive, but they are a very important forage source for my bees as they hit right before the summer dearth in NC and this year they were exceptionally prolific. The honey the girls make from this is dark, but not bad and although it's trailing off now, they are still bringing it in! I loved learning about their medicinal qualities from you! I think I'm going to plant a few of these around the homestead for the girls and myself. Thank you for the information!
The mimosa tree gets a hard prune yearly - you can make your bark tincture with the pruned branches.
I have Mimosa Trees and just learned about their benefits. I love watching you and your Mom. You verified what I heard. My herbal books did not have Mimosa in it. Thank you for the recommendations on books. Blessings to you both❤
Ohh how wonderful!!!! I think you’ll enjoy the books we use as well!
This one was new to me! We have mimosas all around, but I didn't realize it was medicinal 😁 thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome 💛
Yes. I didn’t know this either!
Same here in GA!!! Thank you 🙏
Now I have a good excuse to leave one in the yard!
Reviewing from multiple books is exactly how I learn about insects in your garden. Its a great method! Honestly, its closer to how you would have learned in your community back in the day, right? You'd get feedback from multiple people in town and then take a next step.
Can we have a taping of your mom talking more? When I see her in the post I click fast to hear her. I think she has a lot of offer. I would love to hear more of her
Absolutely
It8s a safe bet that a lot of us were unaware that all inmates have such cameras. If indeed they all do.
Amazing! These trees are hated in my area. I will definitely look for some flowers this year.
you guys were talking about getting all your books out to research a plant. It brought back a memory.... I rounded the corner and there he was, my 5 year old hunched over the bed. On the bed he had laid out every single bible he could scavenge from around the house (that my parents had lived in for 30 years, so there were plenty to be found). I asked him what he was doing and he said he was comparing the wording between the different versions.
..................................... he was a very interesting person to raise. We have had some interesting conversations! lol
As a retired RN and being involved in herbalism for probably almost as long as I was a nurse, I have enjoyed your video's. My wife and I grow/process/preserve most of our foods, both plant and animal, but we also grow many of our herbs and teas here. Thank you and please continue your work.
I live in NJ and have one in my back yard!
So interesting, that "pause" feeling is exactly what i get from the mimosa flower too 💗 :) thank y'all for sharing
💕👏🏾 So fun! These trees make me smile! They remind me of a Dr. Seuss puffel!
Lol I agree!!! They look like something out of Dr. Seuss 😂😂🤣
We had a Mimosa Tree in the front yard in Staten Island, New York. I have one here where I live in Pennsylvania.
Thank you for this video! I went and harvested some today and a crazy thing...I'm harvesting exactly a year later on the exact same day as you did 7/7/23 lol
I have been making elderberry and propolis….thanks to you two. Even started my own elderberry garden. Have about 30 plants going!!!
This year Japanese beetles ate our elderberry trees...they took us by surprise.
@@EnlightenedEndeavor wow so sorry to here…
How do you make propolis? Don't the bees gather it?
@@jamesspalten5977 Use the Propolis from the bees to make a Tincture. GOD bless
I'm going through CDL school right now and my stress level is off the charts. This is a plant I need in my life!! Thanks for the video ladies. 💗
Both my Grandparents had Mimosa trees and they were my favorite trees to play in as a child. Thank you for the memory. I'm new to your site and am trying to catch up on all your videos. You caught my attention because I am also in Virginia. I have used Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs as my guide for many, many years and is incredibly informational as well as having pictures to guide you. Additionally, it has a ton of resources. One problem with the tree is the wood is very weak and is susceptible to breakage.
Love your site and glad i found you.
This is great! You remind me of my late grandmother, we use to ride the dirt roads, and she would use my young keen eyes to help spot wild herbs she was looking to add to her garden
Howdy mom in the background 🤣👍
I hear the bees love this tree!?😁
Beautiful tree. An invasive species in the US though.
It's still growing up on your some of difference between the best flowers plants awesome great grateful for you ❤💪🏾🆒🤟🏾👍🏾🙏🏾👉🏾📳☕ good morning 🌞😎
Don't even get me started on the root bark 🤣
Best part about this beautiful family of trees, is the hih amount of the God molecule they contain which allows one to wake up! ;) Deemz
The flowers provide nectar and pollen for Honey Bees. The Honey is very good.
How does the Mimosa tincture help with PTSD? My grandma had a Mimosa tree. I always loved the look of them. I see them growing wild around here. I'm definitely going to add them to my landscape/food forest.
The flowers can be eaten raw. The new lighter leaves can be eaten cooked as a pot herb. The bark can be taken from the branches and have wonderful properties! It has antibacterial properties, anticoagulant, anesthesia-like, and helps regrow tissue. Fantastic for burns, cuts and lesions. Do research on this one!
Love your apothecary collection
Thank you beautiful souls 🦚🐝🧚🍄
I've decided that mom needs to record a guided meditation for us 🤣❤❤
Lol yasss
I have two mimosa trees in the back yard. mid-Willamette Valley Oregon. they sprouted after the trees were torn out when they cleaned out the lot next door for a parking area. I left them to grow and now cut them back so they will brush up as a screen break. Pretty messy in the fall when the leaves and seed pods fall on the terrace. However, they are plus as far as I am concerned. I was looking for a moringa site when I found this channel. thanks for posting a use for growing this beautiful tree.
My sister is in PA and she has a mimosa.
Do you rinse the flowers or just pick through them?
I gathered several this morning that were wet from the rain yesterday. The fragrance is like honeysuckle and jasmine just amazing!
Do NOT rinse. I do not even harvest ones after rain. Pollen and nectar contain the medicine is what I was taught. I just let them lay out in sun on a screen and bugs seem to leave them.
We had a mimosa tree in our backyard when I was a kid. It was my climbing tree🌱💚🤣 I didn’t know they were medicinal They are very pretty trees❤️
Thank you for another informative video. I had no idea that Mimosa trees had any medicinal benefits.
I never heard of a Mimosa tree until this video. Just the Drink. Mimosa
get the seed pod and you will have more than you want in your yard . in the south in some parts it is like kudzu…everywhere
just planted 3 today. i wish I could find some inthe wild out here in rural texas but have not yet. i'll just get seedlings off my 3 and start adding those to my place. i love these trees and find them gorgeous and love the smell. i'm going to put them all over my 6 acres.
I'm writing this on Thanksgiving 2022. Our tree is in full bloom despite low 50 -high 40s temp over the last couple of weeks here in gulf coast of Mississippi. We live approximately a mile from the beach but they are everywhere else! I've seen them blooming in spring and summer in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, OKLAHOMA, California, Oregon and Washington state. Thats just areas I've traveled but likely they are everywhere! 😊👍
I also make jelly out of the flower.
I have never tinctured the flowers, just bark and root bark. I trim the twigs. Where I live the tree usually dies to the roots in winter anyway. I also make glycerite.
I have to mimosa trees in my yard big ones. And I live in the state of Virginia
I have seen several mimosas growing as ornamentals in central Connecticut. We live in Windsor, just north of Hartford, and have two growing here. They don’t get real big -
probably 15 to 20 foot high, but they spread outward and are gorgeous!
We have one in southwest Oklahoma
IN California it grows too
Thx so much!how does one use this tincture?
Nice!!!
LOVE
Always a pleasure to learn something new from you guys. It's amazing how much you can learn from others that nature has to offer us. Thanks Kaylee for sharing your knowledge with us. It's always a pleasure to see you and your mom together and learning from you guys is amazing. I'm going to have to give this plant a try seems to have a lot of health benefits. You guys be blessed. ❤️☺️
Thank you for coming along and learning with us 💛
Albizia julibrissin Perzian sleeping tree. One of the last trees to come into leafs.
I have a huge mimosa tree growing behind my pond here in Utah, and sprouting new ones all over. Plan on harvesting today!
Very good 👍
Very cool looking blossom.
SO COOL! I HAVE ONE IN MY YARD!
Very interesting
Awesome video thanks for the information!
Enjoyed
Reminds me of the troll dolls hair in the 90's :-) Ty for sharing your time, Blessed Days...
Im in 6b in KY, and they can be invasive here. Not horribly so, but once you have them, they can be hard to keep to one or a few.
I have one in my backyard.. I'm in Maryland
i love the smell of the mimosa flower .. i am so glad to hear it has medicinal properties .. now i will make sure they dont cut down my tree i planted in 1997
I love mimosa trees!
Thanks for the i.nformation. Have a great week
My learning lately has been focused on gut health. So many other issues are connected to the gut, which is drastically affected by stress. So many herbs can help here (like chamomile tea), and I’m excited mimosa can!
Gut health is soooo important!!
Thank you so much! God Bless Y'all 💖
Nice
I used to have a huge one in my yard and I loved sitting under it when in bloom. It was like sitting in a butterfly sanctuary. They are considered weed trees here in Southern indiana since they grow everywhere. I never even thought about it's medicinal properties. It appears to be edible as well. For the last 7 years I've been trying to learn how to properly use as many plants as possible for medicinal and edible purposes. I wish I could find someone local to study under. Maybe one day I will.
You might contact your local extension office and ask them. You might also contact a local University or Local Newspaper. The Extension office should know of some Master Gardeners, maybe one of them can put you into contact with someone who can help you. GOD bless
Thank you for sharing this information! I have learnt so much from you and your mom and it is great to see you and your mom have a great time doing it together!
I have one growing naturally in my backyard in NJ :)
I have recently planted two baby mimosa trees into my yard. They are very little now, I will try to train them to stay where I am able harvest them without needing a ladder.. as they are in a full shade area in summer should be easy enough. We shall see.
I think i read somewhere the bark is used in Chinese medicine as a treatment for depression or sadness.
Love Mimosa trees and happy that we have one as I love watching the butterflies and hummingbirds enjoy the flowers. Happy and (shouldn't be) surprised to learn that it's good for us too. 🙂 Thankful to have found your channel. Thank you and I look forward to learning more from you both.
Muy ermosa s susrresetas saludos chicas
I'm so excited to see I have one in my yard..never knew was medicinal
Wonderful video. They look like something from Dr. Seuss. Thanks for the book recommendations as well.
I've seen these all my life. Never knew about the benefits. Thanks
💗💗💗
I live in St Louis, MO. These grow like crazy around here.
I actually discovered that tree last year on one of my walks. I was so intrigued by it's beauty but now even more so. 😁👍The Mimosa from Australia has yellow pompom flowers, quite different from the open pink ones.
How do you use this. By drop or more. Very interested in tinctures. Love watchin your channel. Just not always sure how to use these things.
Very very interesting …we had one in our yard for ever when we lived in Georgia
…wishing I had known this then.thank you so much for sharing …stay blessed
We have a mimosa tree at a friend's homestead here in Northeast Massachusetts.
We have them in Northern California 💖
Thank you for sharing this information! I see a lot of mimosa trees here in Indiana 😊
You are so welcome 💛
Because they are highly invasive from China and crowd out American natives sadly.
Thanks for sharing Ladies. Please vlog when you press out the tincture.
Absolutely 💛
I really enjoyed this episod! This was a good lesson! I'll have to look into if my northern place here in Sweden can host mimosa. I know they can grow it in more suthern parts. Thanks as allways! You are such a good teacher! Lot's of love from Sweden! Yasmin
Hi! This was a very beautiful video. Thank you ladies. I am wondering if you ever made a video showing the pressing of the flowers are the 6weeks of fermenting? Thank You once again xxx
Thank you so much for the video! So it is part of the process for all of my flowers to turn white the day after tincture was made?
Oregon
When I was growing up, we had a neighbor who had a mimosa tree. I had no idea the benefits of it though. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I have always love Mimosa trees. My grandparents had one and I loved those flowers on it.
I live in PA and we have one here but it is dying.😪 I need another one. Would love to hear about the use of the bark.
I have a few mimosa trees at my place. So interesting as I hadn’t realised that they were medicinal. Thanks for sharing. Oh I live in New South Wales, eastern Australia. ❤
