RE: Silk Tree/ Mimosa Tree for TreeTuesday
Wow violetmed I've never seen that tree before. The blooms are astounding! I don't think we have to around our area.

They don't normally grow in Texas. This tree was probably planted by someone years ago along the edge of this apartment complex! There is also an old pecan tree very close to it! I've seen a few planted in the neighborhoods around me and my parents also planted one in El Paso, Texas where I grew up!
Howdy again violetmed! Are you referring to the pecan tree when you said your parents planted one? I've heard that they grow well in Texas.
Yes @janton, we had 2 pecan trees in our backyard in El Paso, Texas that yielded many pecans over the years. We (my 4 siblings and mom and dad) all helped pick them up when it was time for the harvest! I helped crack many pecans to cook and eat!
Oh that is so cool and it's great to hear that they do well in Texas! Pecan pie is one of my favorites, I love that stuff!
