Good morning all! We have a 27-year old Silk Mimosa tree in our front yard (picture from last summer). We try to cut out dead branches and prune the heavy ones each year. The tree seems healthy & happy and I would like to keep it that way! Would love to hear any advice regarding feeding, watering, etc. Thank you.
