If tomorrow all RUclips channels were gone and only 1 was left @s long as it was Yours I would thank my lucky stars and watch every day and time i can. Thank you ladies so very much.
The flowers can be eaten raw. The new lighter leaves can be eaten cooked as a pot herb. The bark can be taken from the branches and have wonderful properties! It has antibacterial properties, anticoagulant, anesthesia-like, and helps regrow tissue. Fantastic for burns, cuts and lesions. Do research on this one!
Wow! I have one in my backyard was told by a neighbor to cut because all it does is grow tall. However, because it’s so tall I cannot reach the leaves or branches of the tree so early harvesting is not applicable. Is it still good if I pick off ground in fall
Please don't pick the flowers or the leaves up off the ground to use. If the tree has become so tall you can't harvest the leaves or the flowers See if there is a way to propagate some clippings from that tree to start a new one. that way you could control the height of it and keep everything within your reach. Or if it's not too high up maybe you could use a ladder. Or if it's not too high up maybe you could use a ladder
Thank you so very much for sharing your research & knowledge with us!!! I love learning about what God & Mother Earth have provided for us to use for medicine. That's how it is meant to be....in Nature. I can't wait to try the mimosa flowers & more of the tree! I saw some trees in bloom down the road from me. I think you & your Mom make a very good team and you do a great job!!!❤
Growing up in Louisiana, we had several mimosa trees in our yard. Each one of us kids claimed one as our own! We would climb them and my sister and I would take the green seeds from the seed pods and thread them with needle and thread to make necklaces. As they browned they were very pretty. Love knowing now that the blooms have medicinal value as well!
I live in Georgia, and literally, yesterday, my sweet parents & I went on a field trip, picking mimosas!! And currently there are two glass mason jars, soaking with vinegar instead of alcohol this time, but, in eight weeks, I will still have amazing medicine! 🌸 🌳
you guys were talking about getting all your books out to research a plant. It brought back a memory.... I rounded the corner and there he was, my 5 year old hunched over the bed. On the bed he had laid out every single bible he could scavenge from around the house (that my parents had lived in for 30 years, so there were plenty to be found). I asked him what he was doing and he said he was comparing the wording between the different versions. ..................................... he was a very interesting person to raise. We have had some interesting conversations! lol
@@sjb3460 the nag hamadi scrolls are amazing. much less politics than what came later via rome. Gospel of Thomas, Hymn of the Pearl and Gospel of Mary Magdalene are some of my favorites. Thunder Perfect Mind is also amazing. I agree with others that it was likely part of a larger rite.
Another thing is that Mimosa trees are nitrogen fixers so they are a good tree to add to a food forest and it can be Coppiced or pollarded to provide a good height to harvest blooms and allow you access to a ready supply of bark. 2 trees will give you all you need using both technics.
So very true and I'm glad you made this point. Very easy to grow from seed as well. It is known as a pioneering plant, or one of the few trees that transitions an overgrown field into the first stages of developing a forest. Fantastic mottled shade tree for tender-young successional plants and, as you mentioned, is a nitrogen fixer. I originally put mine in for chop-and-drop but I've let the lower limbs grow laterally and about four of my chickens now roost in it, so funny. And with the flowers we have yet another benefit from them.
Yes, it is a legume and therefore a nitrogen fixer. However, nitrogen fixing plants do not give nitrogen to other plants around them unless that plant is shopped down and buried in the ground to rot. Mimosa is also a highly invasive species to north america and degrades out ecosystem. There are many other native plants that can be used and are easier to use for "nitrogen fixing" and to get high.
If you coppaice or pollard the tree, you do get the benefit of releasing the nitrogen to the surrounding vegetation! You don't have to bury the foliage in the soil to get those benefits the dying roots will do that.
Mimosas are also invasive. The crown blocks sunlight and competes with native growth. Dont add to a food forest if the potential to spread and reduce pollinators in your area@@loismegin8036
Love that your mum is a down to earth a real mum, no airs and graces. Love her immensely as I can assure you, you will miss her cuddles one day. The memories you both are creating are priceless. Take care, love from Australia xxxx
Mimosa’s is one of my favorite trees! I call them “the original butterfly trees”! Their scent is heavenly! I love how they open their leaves at sunrise and at dusk they close their leaves...almost like the tree tucks itself to bed by drawing the leaves in. My sweet Aunt Gracie, now deceased, took a sapling from our yard. She transplanted the little sapling back to her home in N.J. I would see the tree every year we would visit her. She placed a bench swing under her tree once it matured ❤️❤️❤️

My Mimosa in Ada Ok attracted something strange and beautiful one summer eve....what I thought were hummingbirds flocked to it's flowers. MANY. But taking pictures I found out they were moths! Moths with stripes of pink and grey! Very cool!
Growing up, my grandma had a Mimosa tree in her yard and the sweet smell along with my memories just touch a place in my heart whenever I smell or see Mimosa. I had no idea the flowers were medicinal. I’m so excited because there’s a Mimosa tree at the end of our property and I’m picking some flowers tomorrow morning. Thanks for this great tutorial.
My Grandma had 2 mimosa trees in her yard also. So I totally have those same fond memories of the fragrance and Beauty in the tree after the leaves & the blossoms came on it each late Spring. I miss my Awesome Grandparents and those 2 gorgeous trees. It broke my heart when someone bought their house then bulldozed it and those trees.. can you imagine? I drove by there a couple summers ago and noticed some of the baby Mimosa tree sprouts growing where Grandma's Mimosa trees were. I'm gonna stop by there one day soon and see if there's still mimosa seedlings there. If so I'll ask if I might have a couple for memories sake and wouldn't it be great to have baby Mimosa trees growing from my special Grandma's beautiful fragrant Mimosa trees.
When I was a little girl we had a huge mimosa tree in our yard. I would climb it and sit in the middle of all of the blooms . The tree would be full of monarch butterflies and they were not bothered by me at all! They would even land in me . I spent many summers in that tree watching the butterflies . The feeling was magical and euphoric . I had no idea that these flowers give you happy feelings 😅 i just knew that it was a peaceful, safe place for me to escape the world. It was magical . ❤
We had a large beautiful Mimosa tree in our backyard growing up (Colfax, North Carolina). I loved it in the summer when the soft pink Pom Pom blossoms would appear. The leaves of the tree remind me of ferns and grow bean-like shoots. The tree was easy to climb and I would sit as high up in it as I could and sing songs. It was also a good place to hide from my mom! LOL One sunny June afternoon when I was 10 years old I climbed a little too high and fell out. Broke my left arm but it didn’t stop me from climbing back into my favorite Mimosa tree. It was a happy place. 😀🎵🌸
I love this beautiful beautiful tree, always have. This is something new learning about, WOW, I love it. This is wonderful to know about this beautiful, amazing tree. Thank you so much! God bless you both, keep getting your hands dirty and info coming! 😊👍♥️
Oh, that sounds quite lovely & serene! What a beautiful & inspiring image! ~ Mimosa trees are one of my favorites. I’ve made tea from them before & added a handful of leaves to a salad, yet haven’t tried a tincture, yet. There’s currently two on my property, yet I missed the flower harvest window this year. One of the trees juts out from a small cliff, over a lake and often is covered with butterflies. I’ve thought about climbing it (perhaps with a harness 😊) and now your experience has inspired me to do that next spring! ❤
When I was a little girl there was a Mimosa in our yard. Under that tree I'd play "Beauty Shop" for hours. The tender pink ones were the young and beautiful people, and I could fashion their hair lots of different ways, they were soft and supple, twisting the ends would bind it together making a bun or even a ponytail. The dried up brown ones were the old people, you couldn't do much with their hair and had to be careful or it would even fall out! Keep in mind, to me at that age 30 was old, didn't have to be grey at all.🤣🤣 A simpler time, good memories.
When I was a kid these were everywhere. Now as an adult I have only seen a handful and I live by them... So during a walk, I collected some seed pods and now I have some growing in my yard ❤
Good information! My wife is always planting “pretty” things, to include these plants, and my attitude is if it can’t feed us or be beneficial toward our well being then we shouldn’t waste time on it. Thank you for the education once again!
We dug up and replanted a Mimosa tree that was growing in front of a barn door when we moved into a new place. It had a very rough start, being in the way of the door. It had been cut a few times and broken in some places. In the 2 years since we transplanted, it has absolutely flourished and more than quadrupled in size! We finally got our first blossoms on it this summer! So exciting! 🌸
1965 New Jersey neighbor’s urban city front garden had a mimosa tree. I remember childhood summer evenings filled with the sweet mimosa smell coming in through my bedroom windows, such sweet sleep. No air conditioning way back then. Saddest day when that house was sold and the new owner cut down the mimosa.
I made a tincture with the bark. Use a potato peeler... you just want the outer bark and with the green. From the info i gathered the bark is more grounding where as the flower is more of a lighter "fluffy" feel just as the flower looks. Both have great benefits. God is so amazing with his creations for us. 🩵🙏✝️🕊🌱🩵We are in east Texas on a 1 mile creek. The beautiful mimosa grows abundantly here. ❤
As a retired RN and being involved in herbalism for probably almost as long as I was a nurse, I have enjoyed your video's. My wife and I grow/process/preserve most of our foods, both plant and animal, but we also grow many of our herbs and teas here. Thank you and please continue your work.
Kaylee, I'm so excited to see you and your Mom working together again. Love your stuff alone but when you and your Mom work on medicinals together it's magic!
I never noticed or heard of these before today, but I spotted one out on a walk with my son at the local elementary school. I ran over to grab few flowers that I could reach. Holy smokes they smell amazing!!!
I have Mimosa Trees and just learned about their benefits. I love watching you and your Mom. You verified what I heard. My herbal books did not have Mimosa in it. Thank you for the recommendations on books. Blessings to you both❤
Kenni: What area of Arizona do you live in? I’m moving to the Phoenix area soon and would love to be able to grow them but I don’t know if it’s too hot there or do they grow better in the northern part of the state.
Reviewing from multiple books is exactly how I learn about insects in your garden. Its a great method! Honestly, its closer to how you would have learned in your community back in the day, right? You'd get feedback from multiple people in town and then take a next step.
We had a Mimosa Tree when I was very young, 69 years now. There was an answer to cooling off in the Summer it was laying under the weeping Mimosa Tree, so sweet !
You can see the wisdom of the mother when she was talking about slowing down and just breathing. The daughter agreed, but was obviously wanting to hurry things along. 😄 It's amazing what wisdom age can bring....
I have a 7-acre lot that my husband and I purchased a year ago. I am now walking the property and taking pictures of all the different plants to catalog everything.
Can we have a taping of your mom talking more? When I see her in the post I click fast to hear her. I think she has a lot of offer. I would love to hear more of her
One of my favorites! I was just giving someone a bottle of a tincture I made years ago. Just saw them blooming today and hoping to go out soon to pick some!
My ma n pop planted several of them at their forever home... They are messy but beautiful. And smell amazing. Last year had to have one cut down and this year had another cut down due to fuserium rot. Still have 3 and now I know they're medicinal properties I will be harvesting. 😊 Thanks
Thank you for this video! I went and harvested some today and a crazy thing...I'm harvesting exactly a year later on the exact same day as you did 7/7/23 lol
I had a Mimosa tree on my front lawn growing up on Long Island (50 years ago) always love it! Never knew all of this. I live in south Carolina now and they're every where! Thank you for such a extensive video!
It is a semi-tropical tree. In mid Missouri, it doesn't bloom until the heat of summer. It doesn't even put out leaves until late May or June (in our area). The butterflies (especially the blue swallowtails) and hummingbirds love them.
I see now why Hummingbirds are such happy little birds! They obviously get the medicinal advantages of the flowers they feed off of! I always have hummers in my mimosa flowers...and bumbly bees
i love the smell of the mimosa flower .. i am so glad to hear it has medicinal properties .. now i will make sure they dont cut down my tree i planted in 1997
This is great! You remind me of my late grandmother, we use to ride the dirt roads, and she would use my young keen eyes to help spot wild herbs she was looking to add to her garden
I've had a mimosa most of my life, climbed as kid. Unfortunately, a frigging invasive tree. Anyway, love the flowers, the smell. I didn't think to make a tincture. 😊 First time seeing your channel. Love your mom, & your relationship with her. I can see your mom looked exactly like you when she was your age. To me that shows a friendship, a connection. 😊
I did not know the Mimosa had medicinal properties I'm glad I accidentally found your channel. I live in the backwoods of Alabama and these trees are so abundant that they're almost a nuisance to a lot of people now that I know they have uses I can start using them
Yes, I remember climbing the mimosa tree in front of my grandma's house So many gud memories with my brothers and young aunt We all had our own spot It does smell lovely and created a wonderful memory Ty
@@TuhoeTaniwha hostilis is also a wonderful gift from what is !! I don't really know of a tincture for that one ... but a little naptha will crystallize a reduction into a truly amazing smoke . Unlike a psychedelic experience and more like out of body..
Always a pleasure to learn something new from you guys. It's amazing how much you can learn from others that nature has to offer us. Thanks Kaylee for sharing your knowledge with us. It's always a pleasure to see you and your mom together and learning from you guys is amazing. I'm going to have to give this plant a try seems to have a lot of health benefits. You guys be blessed. ❤️☺️
I harvested a quart this morning, me and the bees. What you're doing makes me happy!!! You sound like my heart. Forty years ago I apprenticed with the only herbalist in the area, a Cherokee medicine man. And now look at you and so many of us on you tube!! Thank you❤
I try to get them the morning after a rain if possible, after they've had a chance to dry. 10:30 or so. Or spray them off with the hose the afternoon before if there's no rain
How does the Mimosa tincture help with PTSD? My grandma had a Mimosa tree. I always loved the look of them. I see them growing wild around here. I'm definitely going to add them to my landscape/food forest.
just planted 3 today. i wish I could find some inthe wild out here in rural texas but have not yet. i'll just get seedlings off my 3 and start adding those to my place. i love these trees and find them gorgeous and love the smell. i'm going to put them all over my 6 acres.
These grew in my Grandparent’s yard. I’ve loved them for years. Had no idea they were medicinal. Based on everything I’m reading and watching it sounds like a general anti-depressant.
We live right outside a little township. Called tobacco hill in North carblanna and our backyard. We have acres of these trees in my wife. Loves Going Out with the wind blowing and just watch him sway in the wind. And it is relaxing and they do have wonderful smell.
I rented the home I'm in last Dec after selling my house. "Inflation is killing my bank account" anyway there's a mimosa tree here in the yard. I had never seen one before. You're not kidding about the fragrance. Wow ogh wow, I just went out this morning and harvested some flowers. The smell is off the xhart AMAZONG!!
I have seen several mimosas growing as ornamentals in central Connecticut. We live in Windsor, just north of Hartford, and have two growing here. They don’t get real big - probably 15 to 20 foot high, but they spread outward and are gorgeous!
On another youtube video a guy says that mimosa trees are an invasive species. I never heard that before. I love mimosa trees. They a pretty , i like their flowers and though they provide shade, it not a dense shade that blocks the sun from the grass or plants under a mimosa. Im thinking of planting some on my yards to keep the sun from killing my flowers. Summer just started and the sun is too hot on my flowers. Everything is wilting. It almost killed my raspberry bush. Mimosas might help.
Love Mimosa trees and happy that we have one as I love watching the butterflies and hummingbirds enjoy the flowers. Happy and (shouldn't be) surprised to learn that it's good for us too. 🙂 Thankful to have found your channel. Thank you and I look forward to learning more from you both.
Thank you for sharing this information! I have learnt so much from you and your mom and it is great to see you and your mom have a great time doing it together!
Wow Kaylee! Thank you so much, I have an opportunity to harvest and try these Mimosa flowers! I have a rough 1 month long appointment confirmed, so I should harvest now and have some wonderful tincture to look forward to afterward😊
I have a few mimosa trees at my place. So interesting as I hadn’t realised that they were medicinal. Thanks for sharing. Oh I live in New South Wales, eastern Australia. ❤
WoW amazing. The mimosa flower in your part of the world is completely different to Europe. Same leaf but our flowers are little tiny yellow ball shape. Amazing odour… your flowers are also so pretty! 💕🌿
Very very interesting …we had one in our yard for ever when we lived in Georgia …wishing I had known this then.thank you so much for sharing …stay blessed
My learning lately has been focused on gut health. So many other issues are connected to the gut, which is drastically affected by stress. So many herbs can help here (like chamomile tea), and I’m excited mimosa can!
I used to have a huge one in my yard and I loved sitting under it when in bloom. It was like sitting in a butterfly sanctuary. They are considered weed trees here in Southern indiana since they grow everywhere. I never even thought about it's medicinal properties. It appears to be edible as well. For the last 7 years I've been trying to learn how to properly use as many plants as possible for medicinal and edible purposes. I wish I could find someone local to study under. Maybe one day I will.
You might contact your local extension office and ask them. You might also contact a local University or Local Newspaper. The Extension office should know of some Master Gardeners, maybe one of them can put you into contact with someone who can help you. GOD bless
I actually discovered that tree last year on one of my walks. I was so intrigued by it's beauty but now even more so. 😁👍The Mimosa from Australia has yellow pompom flowers, quite different from the open pink ones.
When I saw the Mimosa tree, I knew I had to have one. I was telling a little girl on our church bus, and she called it a DR Seuss tree. Fairy tree is a good name, too. I had one in my previous yard, but Hurricane Ike broke it in half. I have a Mimosa tree 3 doors over from me and I have volunteers that come up in my yard. I let one grow for 2 years. This year it is going into my bed in my front yard!
I'm writing this on Thanksgiving 2022. Our tree is in full bloom despite low 50 -high 40s temp over the last couple of weeks here in gulf coast of Mississippi. We live approximately a mile from the beach but they are everywhere else! I've seen them blooming in spring and summer in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, OKLAHOMA, California, Oregon and Washington state. Thats just areas I've traveled but likely they are everywhere! 😊👍
Both my Grandparents had Mimosa trees and they were my favorite trees to play in as a child. Thank you for the memory. I'm new to your site and am trying to catch up on all your videos. You caught my attention because I am also in Virginia. I have used Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs as my guide for many, many years and is incredibly informational as well as having pictures to guide you. Additionally, it has a ton of resources. One problem with the tree is the wood is very weak and is susceptible to breakage. Love your site and glad i found you.

Oh, that sounds quite lovely & serene! What a beautiful & inspiring image! ~ Mimosa trees are one of my favorites. I’ve made tea from them before & added a handful of leaves to a salad, yet haven’t tried a tincture, yet.
There’s currently two on my property, yet I missed the flower harvest window this year. One of the trees juts out from a small cliff, over a lake and often is covered with butterflies. I’ve thought about climbing it (perhaps with a harness 😊) and now your experience has inspired me to do that next spring! ❤
I have this tree in NC
When I was a little girl there was a Mimosa in our yard. Under that tree I'd play "Beauty Shop" for hours. The tender pink ones were the young and beautiful people, and I could fashion their hair lots of different ways, they were soft and supple, twisting the ends would bind it together making a bun or even a ponytail. The dried up brown ones were the old people, you couldn't do much with their hair and had to be careful or it would even fall out! Keep in mind, to me at that age 30 was old, didn't have to be grey at all.🤣🤣 A simpler time, good memories.
What a beautiful imagination you had! I would have loved to be a playmate then!❤
@@normajeanslagel4633 That's so sweet, thank you. :)
I love your story! It takes me back to my childhood also, thank you for a lovely reminder of that
@@shelleygage6644 ❤😊
When I was a kid these were everywhere. Now as an adult I have only seen a handful and I live by them... So during a walk, I collected some seed pods and now I have some growing in my yard ❤
There invasive, be careful!
They are everywhere in tn
@@majdiawad1282it’s actually good cause it’s not going to be disappearing soon!❤
Good information! My wife is always planting “pretty” things, to include these plants, and my attitude is if it can’t feed us or be beneficial toward our well being then we shouldn’t waste time on it. Thank you for the education once again!
I can only imagine this. In Nigeria, we have them lined up. And I look at the plant with such eyes as you do. But now,
We dug up and replanted a Mimosa tree that was growing in front of a barn door when we moved into a new place. It had a very rough start, being in the way of the door. It had been cut a few times and broken in some places.
In the 2 years since we transplanted, it has absolutely flourished and more than quadrupled in size! We finally got our first blossoms on it this summer! So exciting! 🌸
The best time to replant mimosa tree is in the month of May
As an American Indian I love seeing natural remedies that come from our Mother Earth.
Me too, and I'm a White American
The mimosa tree gets a hard prune yearly - you can make your bark tincture with the pruned branches.
1965 New Jersey neighbor’s urban city front garden had a mimosa tree. I remember childhood summer evenings filled with the sweet mimosa smell coming in through my bedroom windows, such sweet sleep. No air conditioning way back then. Saddest day when that house was sold and the new owner cut down the mimosa.
Sad.. 😢
Too blind to see what they had. Such simpletons.
😮😳😨
They grow back, they are hard to kill. Have you ever smell wisteria?
I made a tincture with the bark. Use a potato peeler... you just want the outer bark and with the green. From the info i gathered the bark is more grounding where as the flower is more of a lighter "fluffy" feel just as the flower looks. Both have great benefits. God is so amazing with his creations for us. 🩵🙏✝️🕊🌱🩵We are in east Texas on a 1 mile creek. The beautiful mimosa grows abundantly here. ❤
he Sho is he honestly doesnt get enough appreciation for his creations
God is amazing!
I am in Rusk . Will try this.
Light and fluffy feelings sound good.
@@omamikels7091That's a completely different tree. Mimosa hostilis. It's flowers are yellow, not pink.
As a retired RN and being involved in herbalism for probably almost as long as I was a nurse, I have enjoyed your video's. My wife and I grow/process/preserve most of our foods, both plant and animal, but we also grow many of our herbs and teas here. Thank you and please continue your work.
This one was new to me! We have mimosas all around, but I didn't realize it was medicinal 😁 thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome 💛
Yes. I didn’t know this either!
Same here in GA!!! Thank you 🙏
Now I have a good excuse to leave one in the yard!
Kaylee, I'm so excited to see you and your Mom working together again. Love your stuff alone but when you and your Mom work on medicinals together it's magic!
I never noticed or heard of these before today, but I spotted one out on a walk with my son at the local elementary school. I ran over to grab few flowers that I could reach. Holy smokes they smell amazing!!!
I have Mimosa Trees and just learned about their benefits. I love watching you and your Mom. You verified what I heard. My herbal books did not have Mimosa in it. Thank you for the recommendations on books. Blessings to you both❤
Ohh how wonderful!!!! I think you’ll enjoy the books we use as well!
I live in Arizona, and grew up with a bunch of Mimosa trees in our yard. Some dark pink, some light pink, all smelled wonderful! I love these trees.
Kenni: What area of Arizona do you live in? I’m moving to the Phoenix area soon and would love to be able to grow them but I don’t know if it’s too hot there or do they grow better in the northern part of the state.
💕👏🏾 So fun! These trees make me smile! They remind me of a Dr. Seuss puffel!
Lol I agree!!! They look like something out of Dr. Seuss 😂😂🤣
In my family my dad always called them Tufala trees after the Dr. Seuss book, The Lorax.😊
I have been making elderberry and propolis….thanks to you two. Even started my own elderberry garden. Have about 30 plants going!!!
This year Japanese beetles ate our elderberry trees...they took us by surprise.
@@EnlightenedEndeavor wow so sorry to here…
How do you make propolis? Don't the bees gather it?
@@jamesspalten5977 Use the Propolis from the bees to make a Tincture. GOD bless
Reviewing from multiple books is exactly how I learn about insects in your garden. Its a great method! Honestly, its closer to how you would have learned in your community back in the day, right? You'd get feedback from multiple people in town and then take a next step.
We have them in New Mexico. My father has one in his front yard. So glad this video came up on my feed today! ❤
We had a Mimosa Tree when I was very young, 69 years now. There was an answer to cooling off in the Summer it was laying under the weeping Mimosa Tree, so sweet !
You can see the wisdom of the mother when she was talking about slowing down and just breathing. The daughter agreed, but was obviously wanting to hurry things along. 😄 It's amazing what wisdom age can bring....
Yes it takes at least 30 minutes to make a cup of tea and you HAVE to be patient.😊
I have a 7-acre lot that my husband and I purchased a year ago. I am now walking the property and taking pictures of all the different plants to catalog everything.
I also make jelly out of the flower.
Can you share your recipe? Tia.
DMT Jelly
Can we have a taping of your mom talking more? When I see her in the post I click fast to hear her. I think she has a lot of offer. I would love to hear more of her
Absolutely
It8s a safe bet that a lot of us were unaware that all inmates have such cameras. If indeed they all do.
This is the perfect time for me to watch this. They're blooming now here in Southwest Missouri.
And here in Flippin Arkansas as well!
So interesting, that "pause" feeling is exactly what i get from the mimosa flower too 💗 :) thank y'all for sharing
One of my favorites! I was just giving someone a bottle of a tincture I made years ago. Just saw them blooming today and hoping to go out soon to pick some!
I just saw my first mimosa tree for the first time last week. I fell in love with it. And now I found your site ! 👌 👏 😍 👍 🥰
Synchronicity is nudging you.
11:11
Sounds like it was meant to be…❤
My ma n pop planted several of them at their forever home... They are messy but beautiful. And smell amazing. Last year had to have one cut down and this year had another cut down due to fuserium rot. Still have 3 and now I know they're medicinal properties I will be harvesting. 😊 Thanks
Thank you for this video! I went and harvested some today and a crazy thing...I'm harvesting exactly a year later on the exact same day as you did 7/7/23 lol
I'm going through CDL school right now and my stress level is off the charts. This is a plant I need in my life!! Thanks for the video ladies. 💗
I had a Mimosa tree on my front lawn growing up on Long Island (50 years ago) always love it! Never knew all of this. I live in south Carolina now and they're every where! Thank you for such a extensive video!
I love these trees. So many people consider them pests. But I just think they are so pretty
They are ecosystem destoryers in North America because they are an invasive species. Think with your head, not with your heart.
It is a semi-tropical tree. In mid Missouri, it doesn't bloom until the heat of summer. It doesn't even put out leaves until late May or June (in our area). The butterflies (especially the blue swallowtails) and hummingbirds love them.
The smell of mimosa is ahhh!❤
My parents had a mimosa tree in middle missouri, it got HUGE! I loved climbing it as a kid. Thanks for bringing me back to that!
My neighbor has a mimosa tree and the smell is devine.
I see now why Hummingbirds are such happy little birds! They obviously get the medicinal advantages of the flowers they feed off of! I always have hummers in my mimosa flowers...and bumbly bees
i love the smell of the mimosa flower .. i am so glad to hear it has medicinal properties .. now i will make sure they dont cut down my tree i planted in 1997
This is great! You remind me of my late grandmother, we use to ride the dirt roads, and she would use my young keen eyes to help spot wild herbs she was looking to add to her garden
I've had a mimosa most of my life, climbed as kid. Unfortunately, a frigging invasive tree. Anyway, love the flowers, the smell. I didn't think to make a tincture. 😊 First time seeing your channel. Love your mom, & your relationship with her. I can see your mom looked exactly like you when she was your age. To me that shows a friendship, a connection. 😊
I made a fresh bark tincture in 100 proof. Is it ok?
We had a mimosa tree in our backyard when I was a kid. It was my climbing tree🌱💚🤣 I didn’t know they were medicinal They are very pretty trees❤️
I'm so excited to see I have one in my yard..never knew was medicinal
I did not know the Mimosa had medicinal properties I'm glad I accidentally found your channel. I live in the backwoods of Alabama and these trees are so abundant that they're almost a nuisance to a lot of people now that I know they have uses I can start using them
Yes, I remember climbing the mimosa tree in front of my grandma's house So many gud memories with my brothers and young aunt We all had our own spot It does smell lovely and created a wonderful memory Ty
Nice job guys, I got a white flower 1, mom bought me, but we got tons of wild ones here, the pink ones!
Mimosa trees smell heavenly❤
I've been really wanting to wild craft this for a while, so this is perfect timing!
Mimosa root bark tincture is my favorite.... will bring ultimate happiness !
Can you share how to.prepare this? Tia
@@KarenHolt-f8y ruclips.net/video/5gbQfOu0ZPo/видео.htmlsi=H1q4aKPG8o-v78Ey
Have them in my yard , East Tennessee
So DMT tincture ?
@@TuhoeTaniwha hostilis is also a wonderful gift from what is !! I don't really know of a tincture for that one ... but a little naptha will crystallize a reduction into a truly amazing smoke . Unlike a psychedelic experience and more like out of body..
We have them all over California, especially in the valleys.
Always a pleasure to learn something new from you guys. It's amazing how much you can learn from others that nature has to offer us. Thanks Kaylee for sharing your knowledge with us. It's always a pleasure to see you and your mom together and learning from you guys is amazing. I'm going to have to give this plant a try seems to have a lot of health benefits. You guys be blessed. ❤️☺️
Thank you for coming along and learning with us 💛
I harvested a quart this morning, me and the bees. What you're doing makes me happy!!!
You sound like my heart. Forty years ago I apprenticed with the only herbalist in the area, a Cherokee medicine man. And now look at you and so many of us on you tube!! Thank you❤
Do you wash before tinctures?
*Tincturing
I try to get them the morning after a rain if possible, after they've had a chance to dry. 10:30 or so. Or spray them off with the hose the afternoon before if there's no rain
How does the Mimosa tincture help with PTSD? My grandma had a Mimosa tree. I always loved the look of them. I see them growing wild around here. I'm definitely going to add them to my landscape/food forest.
That's the other mimosa extract the one with purple bark and white flowers
just planted 3 today. i wish I could find some inthe wild out here in rural texas but have not yet. i'll just get seedlings off my 3 and start adding those to my place. i love these trees and find them gorgeous and love the smell. i'm going to put them all over my 6 acres.
These grew in my Grandparent’s yard. I’ve loved them for years. Had no idea they were medicinal. Based on everything I’m reading and watching it sounds like a general anti-depressant.
Amazing! These trees are hated in my area. I will definitely look for some flowers this year.
Always has been my favorite tree! So beautiful, and fragrant.
We live right outside a little township. Called tobacco hill in North carblanna and our backyard. We have acres of these trees in my wife. Loves Going Out with the wind blowing and just watch him sway in the wind. And it is relaxing and they do have wonderful smell.
I rented the home I'm in last Dec after selling my house. "Inflation is killing my bank account" anyway there's a mimosa tree here in the yard. I had never seen one before. You're not kidding about the fragrance. Wow ogh wow, I just went out this morning and harvested some flowers. The smell is off the xhart AMAZONG!!
I have seen several mimosas growing as ornamentals in central Connecticut. We live in Windsor, just north of Hartford, and have two growing here. They don’t get real big -
probably 15 to 20 foot high, but they spread outward and are gorgeous!
On another youtube video a guy says that mimosa trees are an invasive species. I never heard that before. I love mimosa trees. They a pretty , i like their flowers and though they provide shade, it not a dense shade that blocks the sun from the grass or plants under a mimosa. Im thinking of planting some on my yards to keep the sun from killing my flowers. Summer just started and the sun is too hot on my flowers. Everything is wilting. It almost killed my raspberry bush. Mimosas might help.
One of my most favorite trees for beauty- it sucks just learning the medicinal value but at least finally learning!
Love Mimosa trees and happy that we have one as I love watching the butterflies and hummingbirds enjoy the flowers. Happy and (shouldn't be) surprised to learn that it's good for us too. 🙂 Thankful to have found your channel. Thank you and I look forward to learning more from you both.
There are lots of these in people’s yards in the SW US too. I never knew they were anything but a cute little tree. Very interesting!
Thank you for sharing this information! I have learnt so much from you and your mom and it is great to see you and your mom have a great time doing it together!
When I was growing up, we had a neighbor who had a mimosa tree. I had no idea the benefits of it though. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Wow Kaylee! Thank you so much, I have an opportunity to harvest and try these Mimosa flowers! I have a rough 1 month long appointment confirmed, so I should harvest now and have some wonderful tincture to look forward to afterward😊
I have 2 mimosa trees in my yard. Glad I ran across your video.
I am drinking a cup of bloom and bark tea right now!
How do you make yours?
I have a few mimosa trees at my place. So interesting as I hadn’t realised that they were medicinal. Thanks for sharing. Oh I live in New South Wales, eastern Australia. ❤
WoW amazing. The mimosa flower in your part of the world is completely different to Europe. Same leaf but our flowers are little tiny yellow ball shape. Amazing odour… your flowers are also so pretty! 💕🌿
Very very interesting …we had one in our yard for ever when we lived in Georgia
…wishing I had known this then.thank you so much for sharing …stay blessed
Oh wow! It's for PTSD!... tyvm for sharing 😊 🙏🏼
Yes, it has helped me with PTSD symptoms; plus, doing inner alchemy pineal breath work, as well.
Also note that the mimosa tree root bark contains one of the largest quantities of DMT. (The strongest natural hallucinagentic known to man )
What does Dmt do ??? You say on the roots ????
My learning lately has been focused on gut health. So many other issues are connected to the gut, which is drastically affected by stress. So many herbs can help here (like chamomile tea), and I’m excited mimosa can!
Gut health is soooo important!!
I love mimosa trees!
I used to have a huge one in my yard and I loved sitting under it when in bloom. It was like sitting in a butterfly sanctuary. They are considered weed trees here in Southern indiana since they grow everywhere. I never even thought about it's medicinal properties. It appears to be edible as well. For the last 7 years I've been trying to learn how to properly use as many plants as possible for medicinal and edible purposes. I wish I could find someone local to study under. Maybe one day I will.
You might contact your local extension office and ask them. You might also contact a local University or Local Newspaper. The Extension office should know of some Master Gardeners, maybe one of them can put you into contact with someone who can help you. GOD bless
I saw a mimosa tree the other day while hiking. I didn't know about it then. I started seeing videos and reels about it after I got back.
I actually discovered that tree last year on one of my walks. I was so intrigued by it's beauty but now even more so. 😁👍The Mimosa from Australia has yellow pompom flowers, quite different from the open pink ones.
I have a huge mimosa that just started blooming. Im going to get real happy!
When I saw the Mimosa tree, I knew I had to have one. I was telling a little girl on our church bus, and she called it a DR Seuss tree. Fairy tree is a good name, too. I had one in my previous yard, but Hurricane Ike broke it in half. I have a Mimosa tree 3 doors over from me and I have volunteers that come up in my yard. I let one grow for 2 years. This year it is going into my bed in my front yard!
We had a Mimosa Tree in the front yard in Staten Island, New York. I have one here where I live in Pennsylvania.
Live in Northeast Ohio and I have two trees. Did not know this! Thank you so much for this video. I make different types of tinctures.
I'm writing this on Thanksgiving 2022. Our tree is in full bloom despite low 50 -high 40s temp over the last couple of weeks here in gulf coast of Mississippi. We live approximately a mile from the beach but they are everywhere else! I've seen them blooming in spring and summer in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, OKLAHOMA, California, Oregon and Washington state. Thats just areas I've traveled but likely they are everywhere! 😊👍
Both my Grandparents had Mimosa trees and they were my favorite trees to play in as a child. Thank you for the memory. I'm new to your site and am trying to catch up on all your videos. You caught my attention because I am also in Virginia. I have used Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs as my guide for many, many years and is incredibly informational as well as having pictures to guide you. Additionally, it has a ton of resources. One problem with the tree is the wood is very weak and is susceptible to breakage.
Love your site and glad i found you.
This has always been one of my favorite trees, just from the look. Its a happy tree. No wonder it has those same medicinal effects.
Soo glad you did this one!!
Being from Alabama, I love Mountain Medicine: The Herbal Remedies of Tommie Bass book.
Very cool looking blossom.
Thank you for another informative video. I had no idea that Mimosa trees had any medicinal benefits.
I loved watching this, thank you so much for making it
I've seen these all my life. Never knew about the benefits. Thanks
