THE PRESS-ENTERPRISE - Jacaranda trees are hard to miss.
The trees that bloom lavender-blue flowers and can be seen in front yards and parks appear to be blooming late this year.
So why are jacaranda trees late to bloom?
Andrew C. Sanders, UC Riverside’s Herbarium curator and museum scientist, said the blooms seems normal to him.
“I can’t imagine that extra rainfall would be anything but positive for them,” Sanders said. “They come from warm regions (such as) South America and probably are benefited by mild rainy winters like the one we just had.”
