- The species are shrubs to large trees ranging in size from 20 to 30 m (66 to 98 ft) tall. The leaves are bipinnate in most species, and pinnate or simple in a few species. The flowers are produced in conspicuous large panicles, each flower with a five-lobed blue to purple-blue corolla; a few species have white flowers.
The fruit is an oblong to an oval flattened capsule containing numerous slender seeds. The genus differs from other genera in the Bignoniaceae in having a staminode that is longer than the stamens, tricolpate pollen, and a chromosome number of 18.
Jacaranda Tree Care

Avoid planting a jacaranda tree near pools, driveways, patios, and sidewalks due to weak wood, litter, and significant surface roots that can disturb structures.
Plant the jacaranda tree in a spot that has six to eight hours of sunlight a day.
