Get back on the looping path. Make a right at the path juncture with a map of the Arboretum and you will be on the way to the main entrance. Just before and beyond the fountain on your left are jacaranda trees. Jacaranda is famous for its stunning lavender-colored flowers which bloom from April to early summer. The leaves are intricately shaped, filtering and creating a soft lighting under the tree’s airy canopy. The species’ fruits are a hard, disk-shaped capsule which contains seeds. Jacarandas can grow very rapidly but break easily in strong winds, especially when its branches are drooped; regular pruning can combat a jacaranda tree’s structural weaknesses.
