Jacaranda is in the top 5 most planted trees in San Diego, CA. Almost everyone has one of these trees. If you don't have one the City of San Diego will give one for free. It is extremely common as a street tree. Right now these trees are going through their late summer early fall bloom which is not as spectacular as the spring bloom.

Marguerite,
Mimosifolia means mimosa-like-leaf. Jacaranda is native to Brazil and Northern Argentina. It does well in many areas of Coastal California up the the San Francisco Bay Area where they are widely used as street trees also.
Jacaranda is in the Bignoniaceae family which include such genera as: Spathodea, Markhamia, Kigelia, Catalpa, Tabebuia, Pyrostegia and Tecomaria.
