The lush foliage is fern like, chocolate-purple in colour, and develops colourful shades of yellow and purple in autumn before falling. Masses of mildly fragrant, pink flowers are borne during summer and autumn. This tree grows quickly with a vase shape and a flattened crown to eventually reach 6 m tall and 4 m wide. Albizia Summer Chocolate is commonly grown as a specimen in medium to large sized gardens, planted as a back drop to smaller plants, used for avenue plantings, or planted around outdoor living areas.

Albizia Summer Chocolate Details

Albizia Summer Chocolate is a variety of the commonly known Silk Tree and is grown for its impressive foliage and flowers. The lush foliage is fern like, chocolate-purple in colour, and develops colourful shades of yellow and purple in autumn before falling. Masses of mildly fragrant, pink flowers are borne during summer and autumn. They provide an extra touch to an already impressive tree and are great for attracting birds and bees. This tree grows quickly with a vase shape and a flattened crown to eventually reach 6 m tall and 4 m wide. Best results with this variety are achieved when it is grown on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun, noting that it is tolerant of frost and short periods of dry. Albizia Summer Chocolate is commonly grown as a specimen in medium to large sized gardens, planted as a back drop to smaller plants, used for avenue plantings, or planted around outdoor living areas.
