Jacaranda trees - at what age do they bloom?

| I have a three year old jacaranda from seed and it is about 10 feet tall. I've read that they can bloom as early as three years, but that some take considerably longer. For those of you who have grown jacarandas, how long does it take to flower? |

Three years.Funny you brought that up because a local trio was planted three years ago near a market..and this,their third summer, they bloomed.
And one I had kept in a pot was about that old also..just can't say for certain as it was a while ago.
Those market Jacarandas are now in that 10-12' size also. |

| Thanks Stan. If that is correct, then i should be seeing blooms this coming summer! Good to see you around. The cafe seems a bit boring since. There's not much activity. |

| No problem. I had been wondering the same thing from the time they were planted,I kind of kept track of the time, and when they bloomed in June,it seemed to have been a fast three years.They look a heck of lot better also having sent roots down deep..lush tree fern like. |

| I had a seedling pop up near my Jacaranda amongst the rocks about six years ago. I pulled it up like a weed, as I usually do. This time the the root came up in its entirety...no breakage so I planted it over on the hillside on county property. It was about two feet tall at the time. It bloomed I believe it's third year also at about ten feet tall. It didn't bloom the next year however. It's tall and spindly now...about 20 feet but bloomed nicely this year. As it fills out, I expect it to be a nice tree. -Ron- |
