These are beautiful trees that attract many birds. However, they are fragile even though you can see them growing abundantly on roadsides throughout Virginia. There is a blight of some kind that attacks them, especially when they are five or more years old. The disease will kill all tress within 100 feet or more. The blooms are also easily damaged by Japanese beetles. These little monsters only have to touch the bloom to make it wilt. If anyone knows what the disease is and how to prevent it, please email me at jackpeg1@comcast.net.

'Rubra' is a cultivar with deep cherry pink/almost red blooms. The intensity of the flower color will vary, and it seems to be luck of the draw whether one gets a deeper or lighter shade of flowers.

I've always loved mimosa trees, despite their messy, invasive qualities here in the Southeast US, but have never seen one this intensely colored--it's quite beautiful, and I will search for some seeds of this almost red variety.
