Albizia Summer Chocolate Purple Mimosa Tree Seeds!

As a novice tree-grower I had excellent results with these seeds. All of them germinated. Two seedlings are struggling, but the others are faring quite well. I can confirm Heather Knapp’s suggestion to “scarify” these seeds on both ends. I used a nail file and rubbed each end five to six times until the husk was lightly breached, then soaked them all in a small plastic container of warm water for a few days (in the sunshine) until I saw them break through. Planted them in high quality starting soil and container mix (both worked well). I was surprised considering that, typically, only a percentage of just about any planted seed will reach maturity. The old rhyme from the Middle Ages goes, “One for the rook, one for the crow, one to rot, and one to grow.”

ordered twice,followed, instructions, i have grown lots of everything , even a lemon, mango, pomegranate,avocado,various flowers from seeds not new to to this,either your seeds are not what they are suppose to be or they are not good, I also have over 60 plus happy tropical plants in my house,just saying ...warning your seeds may be not so gooddebby

I planted seeds in hopes of all 5 sprouting but only 2 did.

The seeds that germinate die after planted outside

Mimosa seeds can be very successful if you scarify the seed. I typically put a piece of folded duct tape or double sided tape on cutting surface. Run your razor blade or knife across the seed several times, taking care not to cut them in half. Plant them and your germination goes up substantially:)

I was really looking forward to these mimosa trees but the seed would never sprout. I spent almost $13 for five seeds that were not any good, which is a shame. Can’t find them at any nursery around home town.

Ok I guess, not really happy only 3 seeds out of 5 sprouted , quite pricey!

Received 8 seeds, none germinated. Soaked and scored them as suggested in previous reviews.
