Cherryl,
Here in Brazil we have several species of jacaranda. If you can tell me 
the specie you have seed from, maybe I can be of some help.
All the jacarandas are tropical trees, in most cases with a scenty light 
brown-brown-black hard wood. The specie 'jacaranda caviuna', in the due 
environment, takes 50 years to yield a 30-35 cm log.
Regards,

Angelo
