Our Story
Jacaranda Tree Australia began as a passion project born from a deep love for these magnificent purple-flowering trees. What started as a personal quest to successfully cultivate jacarandas in our own backyards has evolved into Australia's most comprehensive online resource for jacaranda enthusiasts.
Our journey began over fifteen years ago when our founding team members, living across different Australian states, discovered a shared frustration: finding reliable, Australia-specific information about growing jacarandas was surprisingly difficult. Most resources were either too generic, written for different climates, or simply outdated. We knew from experience that growing these stunning trees in Australian conditions requires specific knowledge about our unique soil types, climate zones, and seasonal patterns.
So we decided to create the resource we wished we had when we started. We began documenting our experiences, successes, and failures. We tested different seed varieties, experimented with various soil amendments, and learned which fertilisers produced the best results in Australian conditions. We connected with local nurseries, consulted with arborists, and even visited the famous jacaranda-lined streets of Grafton to understand what makes these trees thrive.
Today, Jacaranda Tree Australia represents the collective wisdom of our team's combined experience. We've grown trees from seeds collected in Queensland, nurtured grafted specimens in Victorian gardens, and helped countless Australians from Perth to Sydney achieve their dream of having a blooming jacaranda in their own backyard. Our team has personally tested every product we recommend, from slow-release fertilisers to pruning shears, ensuring our recommendations are based on real-world Australian gardening experience.
We believe that every Australian garden deserves the opportunity to feature these iconic trees. Whether you're a first-time gardener planting your first seed or an experienced horticulturist looking to add a mature specimen to your collection, we're here to guide you every step of the way. Our mission is simple: to share our passion and knowledge so that more Australians can experience the joy of watching their very own jacaranda burst into spectacular purple bloom each spring.
