OK, well, can you suggest a similar tree with as
spectacular bloom as Jacaranda that *will* do well
here? I'm not looking for stone fruit type trees as I
already have a lovely flowering plum.
No, I still wouldn't mind a Jacaranda *just* for it's
leaves (even if the floral display wasn't impressive).
They have quite a ferny quality to them, but if they
don't bloom _and_ grow well then i really would rather
pick another tree.
