The Mimosa Tree has a beautiful lacy appearance with pink fluffy flowers. Mimosa, especially the 'Summer Chocolate' has beautiful color, texture, and flowers.

If you like the form and texture of the Mimosa tree but would like alternative choices look toward Chilopsis linearis (desert willow) or Prosopis glandulosa (honey mesquite).
