Reinvented Classic Summer Chocolate Mimosa Tree

  • Purplish-Bronze Foliage
  • Elegant Fountain Form
  • Pink Puffs of Flowers
  • Drought Tolerant

This is no ordinary tree. This Mimosa will make your heart flutter and your pulse race. With ravishing colors that seem to capture the sunset all day long and perfect puffs of summer blooms, the Summer Chocolate Mimosa Tree (Albizia julibrissin 'Summer Chocolate') is ready to turn heads in your yard!

This tree's foliage is the deep purplish-brown color of dark chocolate. Its leaves almost seem to glow violet as they shimmy in the breeze. And this majestic foliage tends to appear a spectrum of colors from one angle to the next. From green to bronze to violet and brown, the Summer Chocolate Mimosa's foliage is striking!

The Summer Chocolate Mimosa will soak your yard in delightful shade with its branches that spread wide and flow downward. This Mimosa offers that laidback tropical form that resembles an umbrella.

This unusual specimen adds a southern and tropical flair to any yard. And with its dark and warm foliage, many compare this tree to the Japanese Maple with a lighter and more carefree attitude.

And like the best Mimosa trees, this one also dances with fairy-like pompoms of pink flowers. You will love these classic pink and white blooms that light up against the deep purple leaves. Butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds also adore these delicate puffs.

To keep this deciduous wonder happy, give it bright and full sunshine. The Summer Chocolate Mimosa also performs best in medium moisture and well-drained soil. It will grow rapidly in these conditions. This stunning tree is drought tolerant and deer don't like the taste of it.

This show-stopping tree won't grow as large as the green varieties, making it perfect as a specimen in your front or side yard. It will also look spectacular when planted as an accent in your garden.

If you want a prize-winning yard with unbeatable color, the Summer Chocolate Mimosa is a perfect choice. This fountain shaped tree will stun your neighbors and add a world of color to your yard. Order soon, this is a red hot variety and people are searching for it.

Mimosa Chocolate tree

Was pruned a little more open than I expected. Dropped all it's leaves during shipping as to be expected. Now THRIVING here in NorthWest AZ where even in mid October our temps are in the mid 90's. Exceptional quality tree, with exceptional root system, Very well packed. I am very pleased with my purchase. It was a costly little tree but I'm glad I bought it. Planting in the Spring in my area is NOT an option

Dear Marsha,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback on your Mimosa Chocolate tree! We’re delighted to hear it’s thriving in your NorthWest Arizona garden despite the challenges of open pruning and the inevitable leaf drop from shipping. It sounds like the tree arrived in excellent condition and you’re seeing the benefits of a healthy root system — that’s always wonderful to hear! Given the high fall temperatures you’re experiencing, you’re certainly providing a great environment for your tree’s continued growth.

Planting in spring isn’t always possible for everyone, so your choice to plant in fall—even with those sizzling 90-degree days—is very wise. Be sure to keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained as your tree adapts, and consider mulching to protect the roots through any temperature extremes. Should you need any guidance on care throughout the seasons or any additional support, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Thank you again for entrusting Nature Hills with your new tree, and for your kind words highlighting our care in packing and plant quality. Here’s to many flourishing years ahead!

Bloom on,
The Nature Hills Plant Knowledge Team

Hello Marsha,
