Notes:

I moved into my home 3.5 years ag0. We have 2.5 wooded acres. This tree (?) is in my front yard and I have no clue what it is. I want to make sure I am caring for it properly. I have noticed it is growing into the pathway and almost seems to be getting tangled within itself. In spring it starts with these strange almost caterpillar/cotton like blooms, then it turns all green. Any ideas?

    I’m leaning toward the white Mimosa then. 🙂

    The blooms appear suddenly and go away just as fast

    Could it be a Mimosa caesalpiniifolia? The “caterpillar/cotton like blooms” and the shaping of the branches suggests that to me…

    I can’t see the blooms. Could it be a fringetree? They’re blooming now.
