Your mimosa is not the same as the local ones here - ours flower earlier and have ferny, glaucous foliage ad much harder yellow fluffy flowers. Here's one pictured in February.
We've raised the crown and removed a forest of seedlings and suckers below.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

That is a splendid specimen tui34 and you have the space to do it justice.
They can be invasive in the wrong place. Some English friends of ours not too far away dug up a self-seeded sapling from the side of the road and planted in next to their driveway. Within a few years it had swallowed said driveway and adjacent parking space so they reluctantly had to chop it down.
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
This species @Obelixx is just one of the many varieties here. This is a Mimosa from Provence which is a later flowering tree. They have leaves interspaced with the flowers. Many Mimosas flower in February and the flowers are a deeper yellow so the winter blues are quickly despatched!!
Your tree is majestic! Mine has just one main trunk.
I really don't like my two @tui34cos the hard yellow just looks awful with the glaucous foliage and the perishers set seed and sen up suckers with gay abandon. This one is hidden from view and has a nice shape now but the other has taken to sending up suckers inmy polytunnel and veg patch and casts shade so will be getting a severe haircut.
This variety is Oz originally and is all over the coastal Vendée and particularly celebrated on Noirmoutier. I much prefer yours.
