Jacaranda
I'd like to plant a jacaranda tree. Can I just buy seeds and
plant one, or should I buy a sapling? I'm in central Texas. -- 8^)~ Sue (remove the x to email) ~~~~ http://wacvet.blogspot.com/ http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=wacvet http://www.myspace.com/wacvet22 http://www.suzanne-eckhardt.com/ http://www.intergnat.com/malebashing/ http://www.intergnat.com/pussygames/ |

Jacarandas are seriously damaged by temperatures below 25F and are not really suited for areas that get temperatures below 28F. -- David E.

I suggest buying not more than 5 gallon size if available. In five years or less, no one will be able to tell that the tree was not planted from a 15 gallon container. In the meantime, the roots will become much better established into the native soil relative to the top growth than they would with a larger tree. -- David E.
