How to Grow a Jacaranda Tree

The first time someone sees a jacaranda tree (Jacaranda mimosifolia), they may think they've spied something out of a fairy tale. This lovely tree often spans the width of a front yard, and is covered in beautiful lavender purple blooms every spring.

Growing jacaranda trees is mostly a matter of having the right environment, as they're strictly southern trees that thrive in Florida and parts of Texas and California. Gardeners living further north often have success growing jacaranda as a large house, and they have been known to make spectacular bonsai specimens.

Jacaranda Tree Information

Jacarandas are true southern trees, thriving in USDA hardiness zones 9b through 11. Jacaranda tree hardiness is tested when the temperature drops below 15 F. (-9 C.), and they do best above the freezing point.

They prefer a sandy soil with great drainage, and show off their lavender blooms best when ed in full sun. They grow relatively fast and will get up to 60 feet tall (18 m.) and just as wide. The spreading branches may fill your entire front yard.

How to and Care for a Jacaranda Tree

Choose the spot for your tree wisely. the tree in an open spot with sandy soil and full sun. Keep the soil moist deep down by soaking it with a hose for half an hour, but letting it dry out in between waterings.

In order to give it the best shape to show off those blooms, smaller branches should be trimmed early in the spring. Clip off suckers that grow vertically and keep one main trunk with some major branches leading off from the middle. Keep excess branches cut, to prevent the weight of the tree from splitting the trunk.
