Jacaranda mimosifolia

This fast growing South American, deciduous tree has a spreading, rounded growth habit. It's elegant mild green, bipinnate foliage may turn a rich yellow in late winter before shedding. From late spring to early summer, it produces prolific terminal clusters of hanging, bell shaped flowers. The mauve-blue coloured flowers look spectacular on a leafless tree. Gardeners have noticed that flowering was more prolific in drier years, and by avoiding over watering in early spring, which slows the leaf production. A very popular tree that has proven itself in Perth conditions.
