About those mimosa, before you cut, depending on the species, and if you've got any growing in strategically useful spots relative to your sun angles & bed placement, any way to use them for the shade aspect they could provide for your hot climate?? Mimosa in general are also good nitrogen fixers, mulch producers, and have great coppice potential.
