growing jacaranda from seed
By Vibeke
Denmark
I visited Maderia last week and brought back some seeds from the jacaanda tree.
Do I just put them in a pot with soil that i normally use for cultivating seeds, or do the seeds need to have to have a resting period? Do they need much water or do they need to dry out?

I bought some seed back from Spain last year, but didn't even get them to germinate. I live in Cornwall, so was just hoping.

I've grown them before and they make very attractive but tender small trees; don't expect them to flower in the UK.
I set several at a time in seed compost in a propagator or warm place at 25C or so, just covering the seed with compost. When they have a couple of seed leaves, transplant them into pots.
