Blue Jacaranda Tree Seedling
Award-winning Jacaranda mimosifolia (Green Ebony Tree) is a tree of great beauty. In late spring to early summer, it is covered with a profusion of lavender-blue, trumpet-shaped flowers held in 8 in. long clusters. The floral show is quite spectacular. In warm areas, the tree can flower at any time. The blossoms give way to flattened, mahogany seedpods which are decorative in arrangements. The foliage of large, bright green, finely cut, ferny leaves, up to 20 in. long can be either semi-evergreen or deciduous, depending on the climate. Moderately fast-growing, Jacaranda mimosifolia features an open habit with long, upright, spreading branches forming a wide, umbrella-like canopy. Makes a nice lawn, shade, or street tree. Small or young trees and those grown indoors typically do not flower.
