The jacaranda tree, scientifically known as Jacaranda mimosifolia, is a stunning example of a tropical tree that bears fragrant panicle-shaped blossoms of a deep purple color. The limbs of a jacaranda tree are trained to grow in an arch, creating a canopy that resembles an inverted umbrella. Because of its fern-like leaves, which may reach a length of up to 20 inches, the jacaranda tree is a good choice for use as a shade (or street) tree. It is a tree that thrives in tropical climates and grows at a rapid rate, attaining approximately ten feet in height per year during its first few years of life. Its growth pace is affected by the environment in which it is cultivated, and outside of its optimum tropical environment, it experiences a growth rate that is more moderate.
