Roger- There just isn't enough detail. There are lots of things it could be including several more northern native species.
) that took the pics. After all, he was the head gardener at Disneyworld for 30 years!

I can't tell what it is, but it is NOT a jacaranda - they don't get that big.

This tree is in the yard of a house I am thinking of purchasing. He would have to drive out to take a pic of the leaves, and I don't want him to have to make a special trip just for that. We are waiting to see what it appraises at to see if we want to pursue it. If the price is right, he will go and take pictures of the interior of the house. At that time he can get a closeup of the leaves. It's in Seminole County.

I should have expounded - I grew up in South Florida and have spent a lot of time working there over the years (warm winter work is a wonderful thing when you live in Zone 3). Even Fairchild's aren't that big - well, even before Andrew I never saw one that size there. I would agree that the flowers are a dead bang giveaway. I'd really like to see a jacaranda that size in bloom. Driving directions to see one?? Please?

How do you like the Keys? It's so pretty down there.

Holy mother of China, I hope it's not a Camphor Laurel.
Now lets see, it's origin is China, and it's bad news.
I kept an eye on this thread but it seemed the spread was a little to wide, ours tend to be more erect. But here's the site with the news ... BAD NEWS

It's a full on slaughter of this pest over here.

Ekka in florida it's not that invasive. They have brazilian pepper, melaleuca and casuarina to worry about instead.
It's hard not to do anything you can for a koala, but what % of the trees there are bluegum? hOw much protection do they need? There's a fine line between healthy diversity and unhealthy invasiveness. Tough decisions putting plants on lists like that.

Recent research has now found that the toxic tree also polutes the water as it lives mostly on riversides and creek banks. God bye Mr Platypus, turtle and trout ... we have mothballs in the river.
I forget the word off hand but it's leaves are toxic to other plants, nothing else grows near it, nothing can eat it, it's not native and it's taking over.
Also in a domestic situation it has a mongrel root system. Buttress roots, surface roots, those special pipe seeking roots not to mention the concrete buster roots ... frankly it's a heap of **** that even agent orange didn't kill!

never saw surface roots in florida's sandy soil. Releasing camphor in the water, that's freaky. Not surprisisng it's somewhat allelopathic, that oil is strong. there was a big one in my family's yard; other stuff grew under it fine.Ekka said:
are casuarina and melaleuca invasive in australia? no, cuz they're native?
