Now is a great time to spot Jacaranda trees (Jacaranda mimosifolia) throughout our city. Be on the look out for the bluish, purply flowers blooming all over!

While the flowers are the showstopper—I think they even look nice littered beneath the tree—the delicate, fern-like leaves deserve a closer look too.

Native to seasonally dry tropics of South America this tree has made itself right at home with our mediterranean climate.

Bay Street in the Irvington District is lined with these beautiful trees for several blocks, creating a dramatic effect this time of year.

You can also find several planted along Walnut near the Paragon Apartments, and elsewhere nearby in Downtown Fremont.
