Albizia julibrissin Chocolate Fountain 'NCAJ1'
Albizia Chocolate Fountain is a weeping silk tree with burgundy foliage and months of pink puff ball flowers through summer.
Description:
Albizia Chocolate Fountain is a beautiful small tree with luxuriant purple foliage held on weeping branches topped for 2-3 months in summer with masses of fuzzy pink spheres. It is one of the few flowering trees that bloom in the summer and thus extremely useful. Overall this is a great subtropical contribution to the garden. The wood of this tree is not particularly strong, so plant where it will be protected from our winter wind storms.
