Jacaranda mimosaefolia (Jacaranda Tree, Black Poui, Blue Jacaranda, Green Ebony Tree, The Fern Tree)

The Jacaranda Tree is a season-to-season star that stands out, with magnificent, long-lasting purple blossoms in the spring and rich, yellow colors in the fall. The fernlike foliage adds dimension to the strong, dramatic shape for a unique landscape appearance. Its clusters of spring blossoms, which are extremely stunning, emit a deep hue. Before the leaves sprout, a sea of lavender adorns the tree, making it stand out. But, in addition to its unparalleled beauty, the Jacaranda is a fast-growing, drought-tolerant plant that thrives in a variety of environments.

* Jacarandas are very widely grown as ornamental trees in Australia.

* The wood dries without difficulty and is often used in its green or wet state for turnery and bowl carving.
