The Jacaranda mimosifoila or more commonly known as just Jacaranda, with its large vibrant lavender colored flowers, is one of the more popular trees in Florida.. These large trees may start out looking somewhat odd when young but by the time they grow to close to 20 feet, their branches form a domed crown-like shape. They are one of the most distinctively beautiful trees as their new foliage and enormous bright purple flowers usher in springtime here in Florida.
The Jacaranda is a large tree best suited as a focal point for a medium sized yard or anywhere on a larger property. It can grow up to 40 feet tall rather quickly. It prefers plenty of room and placement in partial to full sun. Jacarandas can take a long time to flower when grown from seed and can take 5 to 7 years before flowering when planted from grafted cuttings like the ones bought at a nursery.
Jacarandas should be planted an optimum of 20 feet from your home to give ample room for the tree’s wide expansion and to avoid possible damage from falling branches. They should be placed at minimum of 15 feet from driveways, walkways and other concrete slabs so the roots won’t cause problems in the future.
Caring for the Jacaranda is fairly straightforward.
