Summer Chocolate Mimosa Tree Care

Be sure you choose the right location and conditions for your new Chocolate Mimosa to thrive. Mimosas are easy to grow and don't require much maintenance. You can plant your mimosa just about any time of year. Avoiding temperature extremes is ideal, of course. Mimosas grow in zones 7-10.

Planting

These trees will perform best in full but can tolerate mild shade and are adaptable to just about any soil as long as it is well-draining. Mulching with a 2-3 inch layer of mulch is ideal for newly planted mimosas. Do not allow the mulch to touch the trunk as these increases the chances of pests and disease.

Watering

Mulching helps keep moist and protects roots during temperature extremes. Mimosas should be watered deeply about 2 times per week after planting for about 3 months. After this establishment period, water deeply about once weekly when conditions are dry. Mimosa drought tolerant once established.

Fertilizing

Fertilize in early spring and when planting with our balanced, fertilizer to give your tree a boost and help it achieve the best blooms. Mimosas do not generally require pruning, but if needed, prune when they are dormant to remove any dead, dying, or crowded branches.

Maintenance

The best way to prevent disease and pests is by providing the appropriate care for your plants. Proper location choice, watering, and fertilization the keys to your success. Scale, mites, and webworms are a few pests that on occasion attack Mimosas. Minor infections aren't likely to cause problems, but a severe infection can weaken your tree.

You can treat these pests naturally with horticultural oil. For severe infections use pesticides like carbaryl, also known as Sevin. Mimosas are disease resistant. However, there is one serious disease known as Mimosa Wilt that is very dangerous for your tree. Keeping your tree healthy with fertilizer and water helps reduce the chance of this condition greatly.
