I know we shouldn't post until we're READY to send, but I just wanted to put it out there that I will be picking up Mimosa pods off the ground from now 'til the cows come home--the pods from my front yard specimen just won't stop.
I gathered a five-gal. bucket of pods this morning and will spread them to dry. When I am sure the seeds are dry, I will ship in paper envelopes. Don't worry--there are always Mimosa seeds available somewhere on here. But I'd like to know who's interested ...

Blond - you may want to check to see if restricted in your area. It is beautiful in a pot tho - and the pods can be yanked before the seeds spread. ( am not sure how long it can stay potted - it grows fast) I think I read somewhere that in Florida it yellows and gets covered with moss or something. My sis in Plantation Fl was considering it and I think that is when we read about it. It sure is pretty and it smells great but it is awfully messy and invasive.
i will check i have one in the ground, about 3 ft. i saw them at bush gardens. im not worried about the invasiveness i have tons of invasives. i am going to research the tree will let you know

Hey again---yeah, I have some invasives, too, but my yard is pretty and under control. I remove the invasives whenever and wherever I see them growing in a place I don't want them to grow.
Still drying pods--give me a holler--got some mimosa seeds dry and ready to ship.
Sincerely,
TJ
