About This Plant
Albizia julibrissin 'E.H. Wilson' (Persian Silk Tree) is a Mimosa / Silk Tree, a Asia (Iran to Japan) ornamental cultivar 'E.H. Wilson'.
Pink powder-puff flowers in summer + lacy compound foliage. WARNING: classified as INVASIVE in southeastern U.S. and parts of CA; behaves more politely in PNW maritime but self-sows freely; do not plant near wild lands. Short-lived (10 to 20 yr). Watch for Mimosa wilt (Fusarium oxysporum), which has shortened tree life nationally.
Plant in full sun, in adaptable; tolerates poor + dry sites soil. Hardy USDA Zone 6 to 9. Short-lived (10 to 30 yr). Generally deer-resistant once established.
If you'd like a Pacific Northwest native tree with similar grace, consider Cornus nuttallii (Pacific Dogwood), Acer circinatum (Vine Maple), Arbutus menziesii (Pacific Madrone), or Amelanchier alnifolia (Saskatoon). These provide bird food, pollinator support, and Indigenous food heritage in your landscape.
