Planting & Care

Choose a location with full sun exposure and well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and equally deep, allowing roots to establish quickly in loosened earth. Mix peat moss into your native soil before backfilling. Water regularly during the first growing season, then reduce frequency as the tree becomes established. The Summer Chocolate Mimosa thrives on minimal maintenance and rewards you with continuous color from late spring through summer.
