More about Albizia julibrissin :

Researchers have discovered that careful application of nitrogen-based fertilizers can encourage the northern trees to grow faster. The downside to this method is that these fertilizers release nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas. The easier, cleaner approach is to plant a mix of trees, for example planting trees that are good at carbon sequestration alongside others known to naturally improve the soil by depositing nitrogen. Studies on Eucalyptus plantations proved that more carbon was stored in the Eucalyptus when nitrogen-fixing Mimosa trees were added.
