Albizia is a deciduous shrub or tree from the legume family (Fabaceae). Native to the subtropical regions of Asia (China and Korea), it is now also widespread in Japan and North America, where it can be considered invasive. Plant it as a solitary specimen on lawns or near terraces. It also thrives near water features in gardens, creating a tropical or coastal garden effect. The tree is most beautiful during flowering in summer, with its branches covered in stunning pink-purple blossoms for nearly the entire season. Young leaves and flowers are edible when cooked, and the leaves can be used for tea.
-
The fruit is a pod, 12–18 cm long, which turns dark brown in late autumn and remains on the plant throughout winter.
-
Resistant to cold temperatures, although young seedlings should be protected initially. Drought-tolerant. Older plants may be susceptible to fungal diseases and require care to prevent damage.
You can purchase seedlings of Albizia 2-year at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
