Jacaranda trees are prolific growers, usually putting on three to four feet of annual growth. Individuals planted in ideal conditions have been known to grow over six feet per year. Mature specimens can grow to towering heights of over 50 feet with a canopy spread of up to 30 feet. Jacaranda trees planted in a favorable environment may live for over 150 years, but the average lifespan for the species is around 50 years.
