The Albizia julibrissin ‘Ombrella’, also known as the Persian Silk Tree, is a truly exotic ornamental tree admired for its airy, fern-like foliage and spectacular summer blooms. From July to September, its crown bursts into a canopy of silky pink, powder-puff flowers that attract bees and butterflies in abundance. With its umbrella-shaped form and elegant tropical appearance, this small to medium tree makes a dazzling statement in warm, sheltered gardens.

    Beautiful Silk Tree

    Ordered this tree and was lucky enough to get it in the sale. Quite a quick delivery which was lovely. The box was battered and torn, most likely by the delivery company but the tree was in excellent condition. Can't wait for it to grow and flower. I've used many online sites for trees and shrubs but this one is by far the best. Thank you.
