Jacaranda mimosifolia is a deciduous tree with a broad, open, irregular spreading crown with arching branches and featuring bipinnately compound, delicate, fern-like green leaves, thin, grey-brown bark, smooth when young, becoming scaly and fissured with age, and violet-blue, lavender, or purple flowers. Uses include specimen tree, street trees, shade trees. Can be used in desert landscapes with the right conditions. Moderate water needs; low once established; regular moisture is required for best canopy density. It prefers sandy, well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soils. Best in full sun. Thrives in hot, bright, unshaded locations. Cold hardy to 20°F.
