My dad said the jacaranda in front of my house started as a bonsai he bought in a market in Mexico City for my sister. It was planted in a clay pot and left on the back patio when they left to Japan. He said that by the time they came back to Mexico with me, the bonsai’s roots had grown, broken the clay pot that contained it, and planted itself in the ground. He then moved it to the front of the house and the bonsai became a tall, jacaranda tree.
The image is a screenshot from the satellite view in Google Maps of my neighborhood. The purple shape is the top of that jacaranda tree in spring time.
