Plume Albizia
Albizia Distachya
Overview
Albizia distachya, commonly called Plume Albizia, is a tropical, fast-growing deciduous tree, often reaching heights of 20-30 feet. It is noted for its feathery bipinnate leaves and fluffy, cream-colored pompom-like flowers that attract pollinators. This low-maintenance tree prefers full sun, well-drained soils, and is drought-tolerant once established. Its compact size and ornamental qualities make it an excellent choice for accent planting or as a street tree in warm climates.
