Collected Jacaranda
Posted: January 24th, 2023, 1:12 pm
Hey All,
Back in November I collected this Jacaranda from a bunch of about 20 that had seeded from some local trees. I picked this one because it had the best movement and taper.
Was about 7foot tall.Just basically ripped it out of the ground, Cut it down and stuck it in a pot. I waited till it started growing again then applied some Ozmocote and dynamic lifter.
Since then it has just gone nuts! Already done a couple of cutbacks, selected a new leader on the left-hand side.
I’m thinking of leaving some shoots closer to the base as sacrifice branches to thicken the base even more.
Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with Jacaranda and could offer any advice around pruning and repotting?
Any advice appreciated.
