The jacaranda tree (Jacaranda mimosifolia) is a tropical tree that produces clusters of fragrant purple blooms. Its branches are arched, forming a canopy shaped like an upturned umbrella.
The jacaranda tree makes an excellent shade. It is a fast-growing tree in a tropical environment, gaining about ten feet a year in its first years of life. Its growth rate varies depending on where it's grown, slowing down to a moderate growth rate outside its ideal tropical environment.
