Jacaranda

Jacaranda J like Jacaranda The Jacaranda represents its own genus of plants with a few dozen species, all of which are counted among the trumpet tree plants. The idiosyncratic name refers to the shape of the flowers of the Jacaranda, which take on a particularly large and elegant shape and are reminiscent of the musical instrument of the same name. Even if Jacaranda is a classic wood that can be found in the wild, especially in South America, the wood of all types is hardly used economically. The trees are thus valued almost exclusively as an ornamental plant, which have a brilliant coloring of all flowers in a deep violet and in rare cases bloom white. The flowering itself only lasts two weeks, but is perceived as particularly impressive and ensures that the Jacaranda on the named continent is also cultivated intensively in the 21st century. The Jacaranda is not frost-free due to its origin and can therefore not be planted outdoors in Europe, although the genus is occasionally offered as a houseplant by specialist retailers. If there is an interest in acquiring Jacaranda, care should be taken to ensure that it is exposed to intense sunlight and that there is sufficient warmth throughout the year. An impressive floral display should not be expected here, since the jacaranda, kept as a houseplant, rarely develops its distinctive petals.

This thrives in the natural environment, especially in the humid climate of Southeast Asia and offers with a height of several meters very long stems, which consequently produce a large amount of bast.

A private processing of jute fibers is rather uncommon in this country, but in industrial production jute plays an important role in Germany as well. Besides garments, it also produces composites and textile aids of all kinds for everyday use.
