Question

As I walked to the mailbox yesterday, I noticed the aged Red Flame Jacaranda down the street was blooming (first photo), although not as profusely as usual. And, I wondered when my young tree would bloom for the first time. Upon returning home, I spotted a few blossoms in my tree (last two photos), and it brought me joy. When the ugly ficus that resided in this location became diseased four years ago and had to be removed, I specifically chose the Red Flame Jacaranda because of the beautiful aged one down the street. I hope next year mine will have a full bloom.

Answer 1

Congratulations on your googlewhack, you've just invented "red flame jacaranda". Jacaranda have pale purple/ blue flowers.

Answer 2

Beautiful, and I'm sure yours is taking hold to carry on well! That must be related to "Silk/Mimosa Trees" that grow here - the Fabacaea family?

Answer 3

We call them Royal Poincianas - I think...and what I've been told is that the percentage of flowers blooming is a direct result of the winter and spring rains. Plenty of rain = good blooming....too much or too little causes too few.

Answer 4

Is that the same as a Royal Poinciana?

Answer 5

Beautiful! My parents had a blue Jacaranda tree in the back yard of their California home. I'd love to have one, but it would never live here in Texas.

Answer 6

Way cool!!
