I think we need a bit more than "pink fluffy" to go on :)

Apparently the "pink fluffy flower tree" actually exists - I think
it's a mimosa (go on, Google "pink fluffy flower tree" - you know you
want to!).

ISTR that the Japanese refer to flowering cherries as pink fluffy
flower trees as well.

I'll make a wild guess at Thalictrum rochebrunneanum.

In some states, 'mimosa' is American for Albizia julibrissin.

Googling for 'pink fluffy flower' produces 9,730 hits. It shouldn't
take you more than a few weeks to work your way through them!

Failing that, a bit more info would be helpful, or even a link to a
picture.
