Description
The Albizia julibrissin Ombrella, also known as Silk Tree, is named after its beautiful dark pink, pom-pom-shaped flowers and distinct umbrella-shaped habit.
This beautiful shrub, originally from Persia, a region with a mild climate, has a light umbrella-shaped habit and can reach a height of 5m (16 ft 5 in). It is hardy up to -10°C and is known as the "Acacia of Constantinople". The shrub has graceful deciduous leaves that are compound and divided into very fine leaflets. The leaves are rounded and light green, resembling mimosa, and are around 20-30 cm (11.8 in) long. In July, the spreading crown is covered with dark pink pompoms, formed by a large cluster of stamens that look silky and solitary.
The Albizia julibrissin Ombrella grows in any fertile, well-drained soil in a warm, sunny and protected position from cold winds. It adapts well to cooler climates if planted in a sheltered, south-facing location but does not tolerate winter humidity. In February, before new leaves form, prune dead, diseased or unwanted branches to maintain a beautiful shape. Severe pruning stimulates numerous vigorous shoots.
The Albizia julibrissin Ombrella is an excellent shrub to create shade and should be planted alone in a location to enjoy its gentle habit.

Planting and care
Albizia julibrissin Ombrella is preferably planted in early autumn in warmer climates or late winter in regions with cold winters. Resistant to -10°C (14°F), choose a warm location in full sun and shelter from cold winds. In late winter, between February and March and before the vegetation resumes, prune dead, diseased or unwanted wood to maintain a beautiful shape. Severe pruning stimulates vigorous shoots. It is naturally resistant to diseases and pests.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
