Jacaranda
Scientific Name: Jacaranda mimosifolia
The Jacaranda, Jacaranda mimosifolia, is a stunning ornamental tree species that thrives in the Mediterranean climate of Huntington Beach, California. Known for its delicate fern-like foliage and clusters of vibrant purple flowers, the Jacaranda adds a picturesque charm to the local landscape, particularly in the spring months. These trees are deciduous or semi-evergreen, shedding their leaves in winter before bursting into bloom in spring. Jacarandas are commonly planted along streets, in parks, and in private gardens, where they attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
