Wish we had trees like this this

This is a Jacaranda tree. It's gorgeous! It seems to grow in any place that is warm most of the year. We just have very dull looking trees. And most of them are invasive trashy Silver Maple trees.

Jacaranda trees grow where I live in southern CA. They do have a pretty bloom during the spring, but they're rather ordinary-looking the rest of the year, and they grow rather tall.

Spectacular. In Brooklyn we have a lovely assortment:

cherry, magnolia, Japanese maple,oak, elm, white ash, plum, pear, willow ( though illegal now since their root system destroys sidewalks), etc.

I didn't know magnolia trees grow in New York. I always assumed they were a Southern state tree.

They grow everywhere. I see them on the West Coast, from California up into rainy Oregon. They are beautiful!
