    I have 2 of these to cut down for my little sister. What are they? PHOTO_20140712_190901.jpg Not the best pic but it has a long stem with small leaflets and stringy pink "flowers". They both also have a short main trunk with multiple shoots off them.

    I think so to. They typically don't live long down here pretty weak, wind takes um out.

    mimosa
    some people hate 'em
    hate the pods
    hate them coming up all over

    we have a chocolate one
    it tried to grow like a bradford pear with a short trunk and a crotch full of branches but I cut them all off but one and forced it up and out like a palm tree/umbrella pine
