Q. Six years ago I was given a 2-foot jacaranda tree, potted and grown from seeds from a large, healthy, blooming tree. It has been planted and grown to about 8 feet but has never had a blossom on it.

Jacaranda trees fill the street and create a purple canopy over the 3600 block of Petaluma Avenue in Long Beach in this ... cars and anywhere else the flowers fall followed by the trees’ seed pods.

Jacaranda releases winged seeds which are dispersed by wind. Jacarandas are unique, beautiful trees when in bloom. They can be seen in the Bel Air/New Haven area.
