Jacaranda Mimosifolia Progression - From Seed

[footsteps falling]

Ive wanted one of these tree for a long time now, their flowers are beautiful its a shame they take 14 years to flower when planted from seed! I want to try and find a nursery tree started from a cutting.

I just bought one from amazon very nice. we will see if it gets flowers. The thing grows like a monster I have to keep topping it back!

I love how dainty the leaves are -- looks like the newest are feathery?

Fourth growing season. Got extreme cutback in spring. Can't stopped it growth. Can't imagine this as a small bonsai. I fancy it as an ornamental garden tree. Maybe someday it will flower. Even without the flowers I do enjoy its foliage and form.

Yikes! This has actually grown about 5' 6" since its spring cutback and gained about 5/8" of caliper. Getting ready to bring it in which it doesn't like. I'll try to tie up the foliage to get it through the door. Sorry photo's not uploading.

It is quite the lovely plant. Some of the most delicate foliage I have seen.
Wish I had room for one. I am actually thinking of getting rid of my orchids and some of my houseplants to have more tree room. Maybe then I can get one of these.

Its a shame they are so bad in overall bonsai training, I think a dwarf easy to flower in pot cultivar exist though
