There are 150 species of the Albezia tree growing in the subtropics and tropics. This one is called the Chinese albizia and is an invasive species in Hawaii. It’s a rapid colonizer and tends to shed large branches, damaging power lines, houses, and other infrastructure.
But look how gorgeous. This is our first chance to see them all, of which there are so very many, fully in bloom. They’re gorgeous just as they are but these few weeks they are splendid.
