Please explain the "coppicing" process. Do you get flowers?

"Mimosa" was imported to UK as a cut flower when I was a kid. It's one from Australia - Acacia dealbata and has lots of bright yellow pom-pom flowers. I've taken to learning the Latin names of plants for easier conversations with folks from different countries.

All the trees I have are under 4 years old planted by birdies. Now I can coppise and make medicines. I say yay for regenerating medicine!
Bonus, I can't see mimosa blooms without thinking of my great grandmother. I loved sitting under the mimosa in her garden. My oldest tree bloomed this year.
