The foliage is finely divided and fern-like, composed of bipinnate leaves that give the tree a light, feathery texture. This delicate foliage folds up at night and during rainfall, a characteristic trait of the species.\n\nThe tree produces distinctive flowers during summer, appearing as silky, thread-like pink and white pompom-shaped blooms clustered along the branches. These flowers create a striking contrast against the soft green foliage and are a key feature of the tree's seasonal interest. Following flowering, the tree can also produce flat, brown seed pods.\n\nThe nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects, making this tree a valuable addition for supporting garden biodiversity. Its open, spreading structure also provides light shade, allowing other plants to grow beneath the canopy.\n\nThis tree is well suited to sheltered, sunny positions and performs best in well-drained soil. It shows good tolerance to coastal conditions, making it a suitable choice for gardens exposed to salt-laden winds. Its bushy shape and ornamental flowers make it a versatile specimen tree for a range of garden settings.","brand":"Arundel Arboretum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57523617431930,"sku":"ALBI-JULI-BS12-30","price":160.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9130\/4688\/files\/albizia_julibrissin_-_tree_bushy_100-140cm_LEMY7R.jpg?v=1793916279","url":"https:\/\/www.arundelarboretum.co.uk\/products\/silk-tree-albizia-julibrissin-bushy-height-100-140cm-width-100-140cm-25lt","provider":"Arundel Arboretum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
