Like the related acacias, the silk tree belongs to the mimosa family (Mimosaceae) and is also known as the silk acacia. Its natural habitat extends from Iran over the Himalayas to Japan. However, it is now also commonly found in the southeastern USA. For a long time, this tree, which is sensitive to cold, could only be planted as a container plant, but, now you will see it increasingly as a garden tree — a winner of climate change and the rising temperatures. The silk tree has long been popular and widespread as a garden plant in the Mediterranean region. The deciduous Persian silk tree somewhat resembles the Robinia in its growth and leaves as well as fruits, however, it is definitely more delicate in appearance. The sleeping tree can be classified in the shrub and small tree categories. It forms a broad, flat arched crown. Its shoots are angular and bare. It is usually 9.84 to 19.86, rarely up to 26.24 feet high. Annual growth is between 7.87 und 15.74 inches.
