I live in N.W. FL and have a small tree resembling a Mimossa in it's arching growth pattern. It has bright orange flower pods, someone mentioned it was a raintree or a water tree, does anyone know and where might I find identifying photos?
Don't know if this fits you description, but you could try this. http://www.hsu.edu/default.aspx?id=6384 We grow Koelreuteria paniculata, the common name is Golden rain tree or Pride of India, but yours may be K.bipinnata.
Also compare with Rattlebox, Sesbania punicea. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/29454/ HTH Chris
Any chance it looks like the one in this photo, which I saw on my visit near San Diego and Los Angeles?
If that's Corymbia (eucalyptus) ficifolia there's zero chance it would grow in the Florida panhandle, way too cold. Regards Chris
