Series 2, Lesson 36: Mimosa
In this video, I tell you about the medicinal properties of my favorite flowering tree, Mimosa.  It improves mood, helps with anxiety and pain, has antihistamine properties and makes the perfect cocktail! This is the first video of the new series that will utilize better cameras and microphones and will allow me to go out into the woods and field so I can show you how to identify and use medicinal and edible plants.  Good things to come!

Yay! I posted a fairly long-ish comment on your YouTube post, and of course, liked it.

I have been coopiciing mimosa for a couple years now, it blows me away at how fast it grow back after it has been cut down....  


Was not aware hot it was a good nitro fixer  I will have to plant some tomatoes next to it....


So far my favorite nitro fixer has been ->  Leucaena  as the leaves have so much protein.

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

Hello - is this the "mimosa" whose leaves fold up when touched? The flowers look similar. (Mimosa pudica)
"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.

We call that one "sensitive flower".  It is very similar but lower growing.
