Plant your Jacaranda in a hole that is 2 to 3 times the width of the container (the root ball), and just as deep. Place your tree and begin backfilling the hole, tamping down as you go to prevent air pockets. Place a thick layer of mulch over the planting area to protect the roots from fluctuating temperatures as well as help the tree to conserve water. Finally, water the tree well to saturate the entire planting area. 2. Watering: Water the Jacaranda Tree once or twice weekly while it's establishing. Once established, the trees will only need water during times of extreme drought. 3. Fertilizing: Jacaranda Trees need very little fertilizer, but if you want to speed up growth, you can use a well balanced, slow-release formula, such a 10-10-10, in early spring. 4. Pruning: Only remove dead or damaged limbs. FAQs Where do jacaranda trees grow best?
