Bought this yesterday from the Garden centre. It is one of my favourite trees, so hope it does well. Silk Acacia is the local name. I think it is also known as a Persian silk tree. It's botanical name is Albizia julibrissin

I've just bought some Acacia honey, I suppose this is the tree it comes from

Probably not Lindak. It's not a true acacia. They sell a lot of Acacia honey here in Hungary, but that is not true Acacia either, it's from the Robinia or False Acacia.

a bit late to come in but i was just having a look around for anybody growing this little beauty.
how's your little silk tree come along since 2009? and in what position in your garden have you planted it?
i grew mine from a seed in my previous garden and am wondering when it will start to flower...
