Uses for Mimosa Wood | Homesteady
The high tannin content of Mimosa wood prevents rot from setting in, so the wood is often used for fence posts. It is also used in making bridges, wheels and furniture. In North America, the Mimosa tree is largely ornamental. The high tannin levels protect the tree from microorganisms and pest infestation, and infusions made from the wood are used as pest repellents.
