I've just been driven through Johannesburg under road-bridging arches
of Jacaranda in blossom. Such a stunning colour and what a display!

Could I plant one in Lincolnshire, do you think? How would it do?

Oh, yes, no problem. You just need to dig a hole and put it in.
It won't survive the winter, of course.

Sorry. Not a hope. I am attempting to grow one for in the
conservatory (it's outside in the summer), but the experts say
that it won't flower until quite large.

Nick Maclaren.

Very badly! I wish I could tell you otherwise because they are, indeed,
stunning trees.

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.

That would be a good idea.

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