I must admit to not having heard of the mimosa being used as bonsai, perhaps some of the Aussies here have experience of it, I believe the "wattle" is native there, amongst other places.

sure is , i have a cootamundra wattle that i am training as we speak, unfortunately they dont have very long lives and the best i could hope for with this one is 15 - 20 years .
i remember reading somewhere that trees with segregated leaves generally do not make good bonsai, but i am also trying it with pionsiana and jacaranda seedlings.
good luck.
