A True Dwarf Form with Showy Flowers
A truly dwarf jacaranda with showy flowers, the Bonsai Blue Jacaranda is a charming tree to add as a specimen in your small garden. Whether you have a rustic, tropical, or contemporary landscape, this tree will make a great addition.
The dwarf Bonsai Blue Jacaranda Tree is useful as a border plant or a decorative tree in pots, placed on your patio or terrace for an elegant impact. Its bright green, fern-like foliage delivers a stunning contrast in perennial gardens. The semi-evergreen tree is resistant to drought and heat and grows well in most warmer areas (Zones 9-11).
The Jacaranda blooms from May to June, revealing stunning blue flowers that add color to your garden or patio. It's a fast-growing tree, reaching up to 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide. And apart from its beautiful flowers, the tree attracts plenty of bees, butterflies, and other pollinating wildlife, making your garden even more lively.
Plus, the Blue Jacaranda is hassle-free. Although it prefers full sun and well-draining, enriched soil, it can tolerate alkaline and poor soils. When potted, the tree thrives well in a container that’s about 18 inches in diameter.
Looking for a compact show-stopper to add to your landscape? The dwarf Bonsai Blue Jacaranda is the perfect choice.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: The Jacaranda is a full sun lover that prefers well-drained soil. Select a spot that receives 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.
Plant your Jacaranda in a hole that is 2 to 3 times the width of the root ball, and as deep. Place your tree and backfill the hole with soil, tamping down as you go to prevent air pockets. Place a thick layer of mulch over the planting area to protect the roots from fluctuating temperatures and help conserve water. Finally, water well to saturate the entire planting area.
2. Watering: Water your Bonsai Blue Jacaranda Tree once or twice weekly while it's establishing. Once established, your tree will only need water during times of extreme drought.
3. Fertilizing: Bonsai Blue Jacaranda Trees need very little fertilizer, but if you want to speed up growth, you can use a well balanced, slow-release formula, such a 10-10-10, in early spring.
4. Pruning: Minimal pruning is required - only prune to remove dead or damaged limbs, or to shape as needed.
