Another "What is this one"?

[zogger]

Coupla pics with the flowers. No visible thorns anywhere. Don't recall seeing bean pods either, but not sure on that.

Im from the midwest so i dont even pretend to KNOW, but is that a memosa?

Yup. Mimosa. Beautiful trees. Don't know about their BTU's though.

+1. I suck at these games, but I know what a mimosa tree looks like. They have a very distinct look so they are easy to recognize. They do grow in Oklahoma.

Thanks guys! Weird, but now I remember that mimosa.

Pretty flower but that is about it. Considered an invasive species and has the btus of balsa wood.

Just because I enjoy being a pedantic putz, I have to point out that this is not a "true" mimosa. The scientific name is Albizia julibrissin and Silk Tree or Persian Silk Tree are good common names. Yes, it is invasive and makes crap firewood.

If I wind up cutting any, in the stacks! I got to touch it, I'll get some use from it. The larger one in the pic is at the opposite end of my multi year project string, logging down the side of a chicken house. So eventually it is gonna get cut.

Thanks! Good to learn something today.
