Yes of course, I should of known it was the scientific name, it did seem familiar, but yet I posted anyway! My bad... I have one of these growing in my yard now and I really do like these trees! If I had enough of them I could repair the damaged soil we have in our yard. Can really tell it is a pioneer plant. The soil where I planted it has already turned that nice brown and the weeds around it were really green (dug them up yesterday). Mimosa will nitrogen fix the soil, creating a beneficial soil environment for other plants and beneficial organisms. Not to mention they feature interesting foliage and beautiful intricate flowers!
It sounds strange because, according to Wiki, Albizia julibrissin "is allelopathic to its neighbors and undergrowth" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albizia_julibrissin#Invasive_species
It might not be the same species I was looking at/I have. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimosa_tenuiflora "Mimosa tenuiflora does very well after a forest fire, or other major ecological disturbance.[7] It is a prolific pioneer plant.[7] It drops its leaves on the ground, continuously forming a thin layer of mulch and eventually humus. Along with its ability to fix nitrogen, the tree conditions the soil, making it ready for other plant species to come along."
