Death of the Mimosa aka Albizia julibrissin

A severe Seattle wind storm on the eve of Nov 15 2010 takes down our 60 foot Japanese Silk tree aka Mimosa or more correctly the Albizia julibrissin. The count of the tree rings place the age of this tree to have been about 45 years old.

 Peering above our home's 2nd story, our Japanese Silk Tree, the Mimosa in full and last bloom before the wind uprooted it. Click on the image for a larger version of the photo. The late summer view of this magnificent tree in bloom from our living room was one of this home's eagerly awaited times of the year.
