An early bonsai enthusiast started two trees from seed in 1988 and in march 1998 sold one to me. The silk tree the bonsai mimosa created from albizia julibrissin is a deciduous temperate tree not a tropical of the albizia genus in the family leguminosae. The japanese gave these attributes to bonsai trees centuries ago as there was no other practical purpose to growing a miniature tree other than the precise and devoted art of careful cultivation and patient attention. Albizia julibrissin is most often referred to as the silk tree but this title does not specify the species julibrissin only the fenus albizia.
The tree was transplanted annually for the first four years and on an as needed basis after that. Bonsai is another word for tree in a shallow dish. When most people refer to mimosa bonsai they are usually talking about this plant.
