Jacaranda Purple
$14.90 ($4.90-$14.90 choose a size)
Very well known as a spectacular street tree with striking lavender bell-like flowers during spring. The delicate lacey foliage turns gold during winter. Very hardy. The foliage is delicate on young trees, and our potted plants are known for their older leaves to turn yellow and drop during transport to conserve energy. This is not a problem long term. With care and acclimatisation they will bounce back
