Jacaranda

Jacaranda mimosifolia

Few trees stop traffic like a Jacaranda in full bloom, in late spring to early summer.
The fern-like foliage creates a soft, dappled canopy that feels airy and inviting, making it a standout feature in both streetscapes and private gardens.

Though its flowering may steal the show, the Jacaranda is also a reliable grower—bringing shade, seasonal beauty, and architectural form. It offers a light deciduousness, dropping its leaves in cooler climates to allow winter sun in, and provides a cooling effect through summer. Well-suited to larger gardens, avenues, or public plantings, this is a tree with presence, poetry, and purpose.

  • Prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Thrives in warmer climates and protected positions in cooler zones.

  • Fast-growing when young; typically reaches 8–10m in height with a broad, spreading crown.

  • Mild frost once established, urban conditions, and periods of dry weather.

  • Will drop foliage in cold winters - semi deciduous
