Cut across the union of old and new wood to obtain cuttings of new growth that are 10-12 inches long. Trim off the soft wood at the tip of the shoot, just above a node (point where a leaf joins the stem). Remove the bottom leaf and wound the base of the stem by cutting away a sliver of bark, about one inch long.

Also, how long do jacaranda trees live? The average lifespan of a jacaranda tree is 50 years old They can obviously grow a lot longer with some lasting well up to 200 years old. They reach maturity in about 20 years and are capable of re-growth if damaged from fresh falling seeds.

Secondly, how long does it take to grow a jacaranda tree?

Why is my jacaranda tree turning yellow?

If the jacaranda is stressed from too little water, the leaves yellow, wilt and drop prematurely. Those getting too much water are more likely to have smaller than normal leaves, branch tip die-off and premature leaf drop. Overwatering also leaches minerals from the soil, which may also be a factor with a sick tree.
