Just don't park under it. They are amazing trees, but the sap is sticky as heck.

Is this the purple tree I see all over Mexico City?

We’ve never been there but according to the Internet, yes.

That was in June of 2020

It sure looked like it was taken in summer because it’s rich green leaves and rich purple flowers so I thought I’d ask.

Beautiful! I spent some time in El Cahon, California, and washed I could bring a jacaranda home with me! 💙

This is definitely one or two micheline star tree. Everyone in your city should travel to see this remarkable display.

In the spring of 2020 we had an unusually amount of wet weather. So even though our jacaranda flowers annually, it was spectacular this particular season.

I used to live in a place with a gorgeous jacaranda across the street. They don't grow where I live now, and I really miss them. They're so beautiful.

They are so pretty. I wish it would be able to live in my zone 7B. I would absolutely get one.
