Jacaranda mimosifolia – Jacaranda Tree

Description

A truly spectacular specimen with a tall 160cm clear stem and a graceful canopy of delicate, fern-like foliage. The Jacaranda is one of the most iconic flowering trees in the world — beloved for its breathtaking clusters of violet-blue blooms and its soft, feathery texture that brings an almost dreamlike quality to the garden.

At 160cm of clear stem, this is a tree that already commands attention. Whether it’s in flower or not, the finely divided foliage and elegant form make it a natural focal point — one of those plants that earns its place in the garden all season long.

Growing conditions

Jacaranda mimosifolia thrives in full sun with free-draining soil and a warm, sheltered position. In Ireland, it performs best in a large container that can be moved into a frost-free glasshouse or conservatory over winter. Given the right conditions, it can produce its iconic purple-blue flowers in summer — a truly extraordinary sight.

What makes this batch special

These trees have been selected for their impressive clear stem height and well-developed canopy — giving them an immediate presence that few other trees can match at this price point. At 160cm of clear stem, they are well on their way to becoming a defining feature of any garden space.
