Description
Albizia julibrissin, known as Persian silk tree is native to Asia, it has fragrant, bottlebrush pink-white flowers, and fern-like leaves. Hardy in Ireland, it makes an excellent tree for a sheltered, sunny spot, although it does take a while to come into growth in spring. In cold winters some newer parts of the tree can be susceptible to frost damage, but these can be pruned out with little or no impact on the tree itself.
