Hug This Tree: Blue Jacaranda

by Jennifer on March 3rd, 2008

The Blue Jacaranda is a newer tree to me. I was looking for something else, when I came upon it. I was really struck by how beautiful it is though; so, today we’re giving it a great big hug.

Amazing!  Really lush and such a great color.

This sub-tropical tree can be planted in most places without major frost - many of the most lovely ones I’ve seen photos of are in New Zealand but they’re native to North America I believe. Many gardening sites note that some people object to this tree because of the massive amount of ground flower litter produced after the spring. Still, it would be great to wake up and see this outside your window while it’s blooming.

Here’s some more info about this tree from a blog I found - a VERY cool blog I might add, called Tree Species. Of course there’s some great reading there. We’ll need to add this one to our blogroll for sure.

My favorite thing about this tree is the sprawl. In my opinion nicely spread trees are the best. What do you think?
