These trees grow wild in East Tennessee and the flowers smell like peaches. If you could help me with this question I would be very thankfull!
What type of tree has small pink fuzzy flowers in spring with fern like leaves and bean pods in late summer?
This is a mimosa, the "powder puff" tree.
Reply:These fragrant, beautiful trees are Mimosa and they can be a big problem when the seeds fall. They come up everywhere and are hard to pull up after rooting. If I could sell the pods or seeds, I would be very rich. Keep them under control and enjoy.
Reply:I believe it is mimosa tree or Albizia julibrissin.
Checkout the resource site below to see if the photo is correct. Should be the 4th tree down the list.
Reply:It sounds like a mimosa tree. We had a few even as far north as PA. Here is a good link for them, take a look, and you should be able to confirm if it the same as what you are thinking of:

Have a great night :-)
Reply:Albizia, also called a Silk Tree.
The leaves close at night which is unusual.
Reply:Robinia hispida?

Reply:I live in SC, if the tree is fairly small with a grayish trunk it's a mimosa.
