The listing, BLUE/Purple JACARANDA 10 SEEDPODS has ended.

The Amazonian jacaranda tree, Jacaranda mimosifolia, is a popular shade and Street tree that produces a spectacular show of lilac or blue flowers during the late spring and early summer. It reaches about 40 feet tall with a broad,irregular crown and feathery leaves. Jacarandas are hardy in U.S. Department of AGRI. plant hardiness zones 9 and above, which includes parts of Texas, California and Florida where temperatures get as low as 20 degrees.Plant your jacaranda in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Choose a site away from paths or swimming pools, since jacarandas shed a lot of leaves and flowers and have large surface roots. Leave at least 15 feet between plants to allow for them to spread.
Water the jacaranda regularly during the warmer months. Do not allow the soil to dry out completely, but don't let it get waterlogged, either. Water deeply every other week while the tree is growing, then just once or twice while the tree is dormant, recommends the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension.Prune your jacaranda tree with pruning shears or loppers to maintain an even shape and branch distribution. Remove any side branches that are thicker than half the diameter of the trunk. Propagate your jacaranda by planting fresh seeds in standard potting compost after soaking for 24 hours. Plant seedlings during cool weather once they are eight to 10 months old. Jacarandas also can be propagated from cuttings taken from shoots that are six to nine weeks old.
