WHO SAID YOU CAN'T PLANT A JACARANDA? Think you’r WHO SAID YOU CAN'T PLANT A JACARANDA?

Think you’re not allowed to plant a Jacaranda tree? Think again!

Every spring, Pretoria transforms into a breathtaking sea of purple, thanks to one of South Africa’s most iconic flowering trees. But did you know that you can bring that same beauty into your own garden?

YES, YOU CAN PLANT A JACARANDA IN URBAN AREAS OF GAUTENG!

That's right! Although many people believe Jacarandas are completely banned, planting them is permitted under national invasive-species regulations in urban areas of Gauteng!

And why wouldn't you want one? With its magnificent purple blooms, beautiful spreading canopy, and lovely shade, a Jacaranda is more than just a tree. It's a stunning addition to your garden that you can enjoy for generations.

Imagine your very own garden bursting into purple every spring!

So, if you've always dreamed of having your own Jacaranda tree, don't let this common misconception stop you!

Ask for a beautiful Jacaranda at your nearest leading garden centre and bring a little Pretoria magic into your garden!
