Flora of BallenIsles
The Jacaranda Tree
One of the most beautiful spring flowering trees, the jacaranda blossoms in April or May after the bare branches of this briefly deciduous tree begin sprouting new growth.
This is a big tree, best used as a single yard specimen in a medium-size yard, or anywhere that works well on a larger property.
The bright lavender flower clusters are huge - up to 12 inches long and as much as 8 inches wide.
Some people consider this beautiful tree "messy" because as the petals fall they blanket the ground beneath the tree.
Placement on a lawn rather than by sidewalks or drives makes the fallen blossoms more picturesque with little or no clean-up needed.
Jacarandas take a while to flower - if you plant from grafted cuttings (what nurseries sell) your tree will begin flowering when it's between 5 to 7 years old. Plants grown from seed (such as you'd get from a well-meaning friend) take much longer.
Once the jacaranda flowers are done for the season, the leaves fill in with fine-leafed foliage to create a dappled shade environment beneath the canopy. Growing with a somewhat funky shape when young, the branches form a nice rounded crown when the tree reaches about 20 feet tall.
