Summer Chocolate Mimosa Tree (Albizia julibrissin 'Summer Chocolate') is a deciduous ornamental tree admired for its distinctive chocolate-burgundy foliage, delicate fern-like leaves, and fluffy pink summer flowers. Its finely divided leaves emerge greenish to bronze before developing rich purple-brown tones in suitable sunlight, creating an unusual foliage display in ornamental landscapes.

During summer, the tree produces clusters of silky, pink, powder-puff-like flowers above its graceful foliage. Summer Chocolate Mimosa develops a spreading, often umbrella-shaped branching habit that gives it a light, airy appearance. It is primarily grown as a specimen tree or ornamental landscape accent in regions where cultivation is permitted.

This selection generally performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. It has moderate watering needs during establishment and can tolerate some dry conditions once established. Because the parent species is invasive or regulated in some U.S. locations, local planting and shipping restrictions must be checked before sale.

You will receive one live Summer Chocolate Mimosa Tree in a 5 gallon nursery pot. No shipping height has been provided. Actual plant size, branching, foliage density, and seasonal appearance may vary.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
