This spectacular deciduous tree produces masses of purple-blue flowers during mid spring to early summer. Its delicate bright green foliage will turn yellow in winter before shedding. After flowering distinct leathery black seed pods will form. Has an irregular open growing habit, with contorted trunks and branches.

Cultural

Once established, Jacaranda can tolerate mild frost, humidity and periods of drought.
Soil:
Prefers a fertile, well-drained soil but can tolerate poorer soils.
Aspect:
Full sun.
Maintenance:
Prune in late winter or early spring to remove any damaged or diseased growth, be sure to cut to the trunk or main branch. Avoid general pruning as it can cause branches to shoot straight up, creating oddly shaped trees. Apply a general fertiliser in spring and summer to promote healthy growth.
Water Requirements:
Drought tolerant once established but will benefit from supplementary watering.
Seasonal Interest:
Late spring to early summer flowering.

Landscape Uses

A beautiful feature tree ideal for medium to large gardens. Often used in parks and as street trees. Works wonderfully in formal gardens, but will add a spark to any garden.
