    We planted a baby jacaranda in our Florida garden about 6 years ago. Two years ago it was completely blown over and laid flat by a hurricane but we were able to right it after pruning it quite severely. For the past two years it has been supported, and it is now fully stabalized and doing wonderfully, about 20 feet high with luxurious leaf growth. BUT it has not bloomed. I haven't been able to find any information on when (age) it should start to bloom or suggestions for supplements to help it. We are anxious to enjoy its beautiful purple blooms. Can anyone be of assistance? Thank you.

    Jacaranda bloom in the months of April to May in the S.E. and will set flowers best there when the winter and spring has relatively low rainfall. At what age these flower, seems to be more regional. Reportedly, Southern California Jacaranda bloom at a younger age than in the S.E.

    Cheers, LPN.

    Thanks LPN. I guess we will just have to wait and see then and hope for blooms next spring.

    Maybe talk to a Master Gardener in your area.
