Jacaranda mimosifolia
blue jacaranda
 
Jacaranda mimosifolia, also known as blue jacaranda, or simply jacaranda, is a decidious tree with a finely divided foliage. It can reach more than 40 ft (12 m) tall, and originates from South America, and more precisely from Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil. This tree has showy lavendar blue flowers.
Jacarandas are showy trees that are often grown in subtropical areas. However, they will withstand brief frosts of 28°F to 24°F (-2°C to -5°C), depending on the age of the trees.
 
Jacarandas have a decidious foliage. Leaves are bipinnate, and finely divided.
Jacarandas have blue flowers that appear in clusters.
The fruits of jacarandas are flat brown seed pods, that can be up to 3 in (7.5 cm) wide.
