The highlights
- Bushy evergreen tree
- Medium tree - grows up to 8m
- Fluffy, yellow flower balls from January
- Award of Garden Merit winner
Description
- This Australian sensation is simply a must-have for milder gardens in southern and coastal regions; its pinnate, feathery, evergreen leaves adding colour and brush-like texture the whole year round
- From January to April, abundant pom pom flowers bloom in fluffy, lemon-yellow clusters, providing a much-needed injection of colour and happiness in the dark, dreich winter months
- The fabulous flowers are highly fragrant, radiating a deliciously sweet scent with hints of both vanilla and almond coming to the fore – it’s no wonder that the flower essence is used by perfumers across the world!
- Bees and insects love the mimosa flowers, too, with the blooms providing a valuable source of late winter fuel (for the bees, in particular)
- Native to the Australian territories of Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales, the mimosa tree is thought to have first been introduced to Europe by Captain Cook on one of his famous voyages of exploration
- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPotsâ„¢. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single-use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better-shaped tree. This can stop the tree from becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
