    Not only does the sight of the Albizia or Mimosa tree uplift the spirit, but the properties of the herb does as well. Let's learn a bit about this major Chinese Tonic herb.

    I knew it was invasive when I bought it at the nursery. However, I love the fact that it grows just fine in Zone 7 (hot, dry, high desert in central Arizona) and that it grows fast and beautiful. It hasn't disappointed.....

    Do you feel the effects noticeably? Like when you drink a beer there’s a noticeable feel good effect, now I’m not asking will it make you drunk but is there a distinct noticeable difference. Kratom is another plant that when you take it there is a euphoric uplifting effect or feeling about 30 minutes later that is very noticeable.

      You would want something stronger than vodka. Pure Grain works well. Let it sit in a glass jar in a dark cool place for a month or more. We use brown glass as it keeps the potency from being spoiled by the sunlight. Best wishes.

      Plant material + yeast + distilled water + sugar
      Add more sugar as neccessary for higher abv%
      Yeast helps to break down plant with enzyme, pure alchohol doesn't do this so ferment is better
      When in seed is best time to harvest for medicine, flowers are mostly for show :)

      They clone well if you take a stick and put it in distilled water
      Or, you could find a native, non-invasive alternative plant like honey locust or bundleweed... maybe catclaw mimosa? There are many relatives with varying medicinal values.

    • @motherlandbot6837
      @motherlandbot6837 2 года назад +1

      @ fire lioness If they disappeared from your neighborhood, they were probably wiped out by Fusarium oxysporum forma perniciousum, a soil borne fungus. This kills many Albizia trees, mostly after they reach flowering size. A search for "Mimosa wilt" will give you descriptions and photos for diagnosis.
      In the warmer states, A. julibrissin self seeds and grows fast enough to maintain populations, but in the northern limits of its' range, seedling winter survivorship does not keep up with mortality from Fusarium.
      Albizia julibrissin, particularly the deep pink rosea forms, has been one of my favorite trees from childhood. It self seeds in abundance in warm climates, but seedlings are easily eliminated by repeated mowing and weed whacking. It is naturally relatively shortlived, and limited by Fusarium.
      I welcome its' presence. It has beautiful foliage, a very attractive growth habit (reminiscent of the distantly related Royal Poinciana, Delonix regia), reaches flowering size quickly even when seed grown, and has very attractive summer blooms that are excellent forage for bumblebees, Honeybees, and for Hummingbirds and hawkmoths. The blooms are very pleasingly scented during the day, and intensely fragrant at night; walking or standing beneath one in bloom during a still humid summer night will envelope you in fragrance. It's non native, but nowhere as hard to control as Ivy (Hedera helix), and many other non native garden ornamentals. Those dense carpets of seedlings that give mature A. julibrissin a bad name appear mainly in disturbed, anthropogenic habitats.
      Black Locust and Honey Locust are common in my area; thornless selections of the latter generally come true from seed if thorny specimens are not around. They seed pods of Honey Locust are much more persistent and visible than those of A. julibrissin. Flowers of Honey Locust are inconspicuous, but those of Black Locust are attractive. Many Black Locusts and some Honey Locusts are VERY thorny. Their foliage is attractive, but does not approach that of A. julibrissin in beauty.

    Its strange they promote this as an energetic happiness herb. As if it gives you energy. Quite the opposite. It calms you immensely and calms the mind. Not big on weed- but I'm assuming they have similar dnas.

    • @eastindiaV
      @eastindiaV 2 года назад +7

      I think it gives energy by helping to calm down the person and get them to a healthy homeostasis, which involves regulating the sleep sometimes.
      I'll take it often, and sleep for a couple hours afterwards, but usually it's only if I'm avoiding sleep by abusing caffeine.... and afterwards I have boundless energy. Helps to recharge the batteries.
      But yes, short term it won't act like a stimulant, it's an adaptogen. The benefit largely comes after the effects are metabolized by the body.

      Late summer is a good time to look for the bean pods. They grow all over and there are similar trees too that are even better but less researched, the pods are the color of parchment paper.
      Each one has around 10 seeds. Scratch them with a piece of sand paper on one end, soak in distilled water, and then plant in organic potting soil on the windowsill.
      They are cold hardy, and perennial. Kinda hard to germinate so plant lots to maximize results.
      I've seen many different phenotypes. I have one that is a massive hedge with not many flowers that can clone well, I have one I collect from that is a much smaller tree with many many more flowers... and one I know of at a park is like the exact shape of a palm tree.. all in the same town.
      They grow a lot on roadsides, next to sumac, poke berry, honeysuckle, etc
