Impressive Mimosa Tree

The Mimosa tree in the front yard is doing just great.  Comparing it to the picture from the June 20 post, the branches are twice a long as they were.  My concern is if we get heavy snow or ice - can the branches hold up under excessive weight.  We were surprised by the huge Elephant Ears that grew up around the tree.  The bulbs were in the root ball when we transplanted the Mimosa last fall.  The color contrast between the Elephant Ears and the Mimosa creates a beautiful display.
