Albizia julibrissin \u2018Ombrella\u2019 is an ornamental tree with a characteristic, wide-growing crown shape. The name \u2018Ombrella\u2019 refers to this umbrella-like growth, where the branches spread horizontally and form an airy roof. This makes this dormant tree particularly suitable as a solitary, where its shape comes into its own.<\/p>\n
The name sleeping tree comes from the behaviour of its leaves. In the evening, the finely pinnate leaves fold together, only to open again in the morning. This natural rhythm is clearly visible and makes the tree extra interesting in everyday use.<\/p>\n
