        I have seen others use the flowers for medicinal uses. In honey or tinctures.

        Curious to know if any other part of the tree can be used? Leaves, bark, etc.

        They grow native here in Missouri and have such a lovely smell!!

        Thank you

          Mimosa (Albizia julibrissin) is used a lot if Traditional Chinese medicine. They mostly use the bark or flower. I haven’t heard of the leaf being used. They call it The Tree of Happiness. In most US states they call it That danged Invasive Plant. I like the Chinese view better. :0)

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
