Plant text area:

''Albizia julibrissin'' is a small [[deciduous]] tree growing to 5–12 m tall, with a broad crown of level or arching branches. The [[bark]] is dark greenish grey in colour and striped vertically as it gets older. The [[leaf|leaves]] are [[pinnate|bipinnate]], 20–45 cm long and 12–25 cm broad, divided into 6–12 pairs of pinnae, each with 20–30 pairs of leaflets; the leaflets are oblong, 1–1.5 cm long and 2–4 mm broad. The [[flower]]s are produced throughout the summer in dense [[inflorescence]]s, the individual flowers with no [[petal]]s but a tight cluster of [[stamen]]s 2–3 cm long, white or pink with a white base, looking like silky threads. They have been observed to be attractive to [[bee]]s, [[butterfly|butterflies]] and [[hummingbird]]s. The [[fruit]] is a flat brown [[legume|pod]] 10–20 cm long and 2–2.5 cm broad, containing several [[seeds]] inside. ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation=== Seed, but the hard seat coat requires scarification before germination can occur. Nick the seed with a file, soak it in sulfuric acid, or plunge it into boiling water. ===Pests and diseases=== Wilt disease. ==Varieties== There are two varieties: * ''Albizia julibrissin'' var. ''julibrissin''. The typical variety, described above. * ''Albizia julibrissin'' var. ''mollis''. Differs in the shoots being densely hairy. There is also a [[form (biology)|form]], ''Albizia julibrissin'' f. ''rosea'' which has, in the past, been classed either as a variety or as a [[cultivar]]. This is a smaller tree, only growing to 5–7 m tall, with the flowers always pink. Native to the northeast of the species' range in Korea and northern China, it is more cold-tolerant than the typical form, surviving temperatures down to at least -25 °C. ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Albizzia julibrissin in Sevastopol 1.jpg| Image:Albizia julibrissin in Sevastopol 2 .jpg| Image:AlbizziaJulibrissin6.jpg Image:AlbizziaJulibrissin2.jpg Image:Alhizzia Julihrissin.JPG| Image:Hungary Pecs 2005 June 081.jpg Image:AlbizziaJulibrissinFlower2.jpg Image:AlbizziaJulibrissin3.jpg Image:Albizia julibrissin 'Rosea'.jpg|f.
