Mimosa questions?

[treesnakey]

evening all!

 

I viewed a Mimosa recently where the foliage had turned brown since the snow. Does anyone know why?

 

Also what is the best time of year to prune a mimosa?

If the leaves or little needle thingys froze bad enough the frost can damage them and they will die, again could be many other factors but thats the first thing id think

I had a run of dead mimosas last spring that were killed buy the cold weather. Down here on the south coast I've cut them whenever asked without doing any harm. I did one about 4 years running, the problem was that it shaded a neighbours window and they kept complaining so in the end I removed it. A week later I got a phone call from the owner to say that the neighbour that complained about the lack of light in his window had been out and bought a blind to stop the sun reflecting on his tv screen You sold your van yet ?
