Description: The plant I ship is about 2-3 ft tallCombined shipping: If bought with other plants that I sell, shipping is combined and discounted. The jacaranda tree is a beautiful tropical tree that produces clusters of fragrant purple panicle-shaped blooms and arching branches that form a canopy shaped like an upturned umbrella. The jacaranda tree is fast-growing in a tropical environment, gaining about 10 feet a year in its first years of life. Its growth rate varies depending on where it's grown, slowing down to a moderate growth rate outside its ideal tropical environment. Jacaranda trees are happiest in parts of the United States with the balmiest locations, such as Hawaii, Florida, Southern California, and parts of Texas where they grow remarkably easily because of ideal warm, sunny conditions. The tree also requires consistent moisture year-round in slightly acidic soil.

LightFor the best blooming, plant your jacaranda tree in full sun, where it receives at least six to eight hours of sun per day. Smaller jacaranda trees can tolerate light shade if necessary, but a lack of optimal sunlight can impact the amount and vibrancy of their blooms.SoilJacaranda trees will do best in well-draining, moderately sandy soil with a slightly acidic pH level. It's also tolerant of clay and loamy soils but should not be planted in any mixture that is considered heavy, wet, or not well-draining. Water-logged soil can lead to an increased risk of root rot and mushroom root rot.1WaterAs a general rule, water your jacaranda tree when the top 3 to 4 inches of soil feels dry to the touch. These trees need consistent moisture throughout the year and often require additional watering during high heat or drought periods.1 Water the area around the tree's base. Concentrate most of the water at its drip line (the spot where the water drips off the ends of the branches) instead of near the trunk.To gauge whether your watering was sufficient, poke a finger or water gauge into the ground up to three inches deep, ensuring the water has seeped down to that depth. Repeat watering this way once a week, increasing to several times a week during intense sun or heat periods. Reduce watering to once a month during the tree's dormant winter months.Temperature and HumiditySome jacaranda trees can tolerate occasional cold weather days (as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit), but generally, this species does not thrive in climates with frequent freezing temperatures. This plant prefers heat and humidity but is vulnerable to trunk scald in areas with constant high temperatures.1FertilizerFeed your jacaranda tree annually with a balanced tree fertilizer, but be careful not to give it too much nitrogen, which can affect flowering. A good fertilizer ratio is 10-10-10 NPK (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium). For the amount to use, consult the product label instructions. If you are fertilizing grass under the tree, chances are the tree is already getting a lot of nitrogen. Fertilizer that I include as an option is an excellent choice for professional growers or nurseries if you grow plant in a pot. I personally use it for all my plants. It has polymer coating to allow slow release during 8-9 months evenly. You don't have to worry about repotting the plant for about 1 year or worry about burning plant with your regular over the counter fertilizer. You need about 3-4oz per 3 gal pot or 4-5oz per 5 gal pot.
