Hi,

I'd like to put a Jacaranda Tree in my backyard, the garden bed it
would go in is 6m x 2.8m with colourbond fence one side and surrounded
by a limestone wall. Is this big enough or will the roots cause
problems in the future?


A mature jacaranda will reach 10m x 10m. The roots will spread more widely
than that, and if they don't, the plant may fall over in a high wind.
