Albizia Julibrissin.

Lovely colour and shape

Thanks I just wish it would grow faster.....

but then they grow too big, you can enjoy this for a long time!

Indeed Sticki excellent suggestion.

:-)

It looks nice a cute!

This is not a slow-growing tree here in San Diego...it can grow to 8ft or more in one season. Right now all the trees here are in full bloom.

Delonix wow 8ft in a season I would settle for 3ft!! have you put any pics on as I love the flowers on this tree, there is a purple variety.... are there any of this colour near you?

Yes, they grow super fast here...especially if they receive water (like in a lawn).

I've posted pics in the past...I'm going to take some pics of very large trees at the school a couple of blocks from me. The largest tree there has an especially bright flower.

I've never posted pics of this tree until last year...I always thought it was too common a tree.

Here's some Albizia pics:

Thanks it is not a common tree here, in fact very few people grew it.....

I always thought this tree was widely grown throughout the UK. Actually, I was under the impression this tree grew larger there than here.

I love the foliage on this !!
