Having a unique lavender flower, and a vase growth form, the Jacaranda tree is by far one of the most attractive tree there is, especially when used for street planting. The tree can reach a height and spread of 15 by 25 meter respectively, and stands out from other deciduous trees. The blooming season for this tree starts in April, and end towards August, The tree has an open canopy, which adds a lot to its aesthetic values, as it is allows some light to pass through, although it acts as a shade tree.
