I recently accidentally "wrapped" my string trimmer line around my small young just planted mimosa tree and wripped off alot of outer skin bark. Now the tree's inner wood is starting to dry out and kill the tree. Is there anything I can wrap around it to save it? Is there anything I can do? Help me PLEASE

Try taping it .
you might get new shoots from the roots in the spring.
I had a Georgia weeping peach tree that the rabbits ate the bark from the bottom ,and luckily it sprouted a new shoot from the roots and now it is doing fantastic....

Mimosa Tree Dying

The lifeline of a tree is just inside the outer bark. Cut that area,
you cut it's lifeline. Chances are very good it'll die. Go buy a
new tree and while you're at it, make a better selection.
They're not long lived, grow funky, messy and make enemies
out of your neighbors.

Go to your nearest nursery and ask them...the good news is that IF you live where these trees "volunteer" and grow readily you should be able to get a replacement with NO trouble. I have one that is about 12 feet tall that was 4 feet tall two years ago...and it just came to our yard like my cats..
I have no problem with ONE and it is where it cannot make a mess that will bother anyone especially Me! I am talking about the tree Not my cats...

The bad news is your tree's probably a goner. The good news is your tree's probably a goner. Please rethink the Mimosa as a landscape tree.
And the next tree gets a collar to avoid weed whacker damage.

I cannot believe anyone could kill a mimosa. I currently have 3 that have "volunteered" in my yard and it is a constant battle to get rid of them.
