Last week in Camarillo, CA I saw a beautiful tree with blue flowers. The
leaf is very similar to a Mimosa leaf. A landscape guy thinks the tree is a
Jack Aramda but I can't find any info on Jack Aramda online. I collected
what I think are seed pod and hope to learn if and how I can grow this
beautiful tree in my area. Thanks, Frank A.


Jacaranda mimosifolia. It's a tender subtropical, probably a risk in
the colder parts of USDA Zone 9 and definitely a risk anywhere colder.
Its biggest fault is that it is messy -- the flowers are squishy and
stain pavement where they fall.
