Thanks Blair, but it would have only shaded the footpath, I'm very
careful about tree/shrub location, on the other hand, I'm also watching
the Eucalyptus the council planted on the footpath and which is growing
with a lean.

Some years ago they planted Eucalyptus as food trees for Koalas but the
previous owners of my house apparently drove over the two out the front
of the house. Not sure what happened to the one along the side street
because it had been damaged when I bought the house, but resurrected a
little while later.

Your comment about the footpath triggered a warning in my head.
If it will overhang the footpath you should be careful to ensure that it
will not drop - and that could go as much for leaves/flowers as branches.
Obviously there are dangers to falling branches but leaves/twigs/flowers
could also pose a potential trip and fall hazard...
I know, maybe a bit of overkill on the cotton wool approach but better to be
forewarned I hope...

G'day Len

I live on a corner block so the canopy could shade the footpath area as
well.

g'day bronwyn,

well blue is the colour they are noted for (purple if you wish), they
are an exotic anyway would suggest maybe you could find a native tree
to suit the colour scheme of things??

you must have a failry big side garden to be able to accomodate a
jacaranda roots and all, they are a very large tree.
