Jacaranda cutting

I've been taking cuttings of just about everything this year. Here's a small branch off the tree out the back that I took about 4 weeks ago. I have baby jacaranda leaves unfolding! They're cute.

Haven't had a lot of luck with Jacaranda cuttings lately...seeds are a different story. Emptied a couple of seed pods into a seed tray several weeks ago & now I have dozens & dozens of little jacaranda's! Wonder if I'll be able to get a couple of dollars each at the markets? :lol:

Good luck with the cutting.

Cheers

Yeah it's a bit early to pin my hopes on mine yet... The other one is smaller and it's a little slow but has some new shoots. The one pictured is a thick cutting, probably an inch thick.

The cutting died, but I took some more and they each have a bud. More success this time hopefully.

Sorry to hear the cutting died - hopefully you have success this time. I haven't tried Jacaranda's I will keep watching to see how you are going, might give me the inspiration to give it a go.
Good Luck ! :fc:

Dead again. No roots at all either. Might just have to start with an actual plant.

You could also try airlayering.

Airlayer should be a easy to do and have great results.
If you have a tree with some interesting movement, then layer it off so you can start with a larger trunk.

if you cannot layer, then scout around in spring /summer for soem seedlings and collect them. Pot up and let them grow unhindered.
