I went to JoBurg many years ago in November. I recall reading about the
Jacaranda and indeed I saw!. It's a tree that has fond memories. Why
can't we grow it here?

Because the penny-pinching government turned down the proposal to
attach the British Navy to the British Isles, and tow the latter
30 degrees further south.

They had two destroyers with steam up, but HM Govt. wouldn't release
funds for such a long cheesewire.
