Jacaranda Tree causes Water Problems?

The Jacaranda is a beautiful tree - spectacular and stunning when in bloom. Because of its beauty, it was taken from its native home in South America to places around the world. But lovely as it is, the tree is also notorious for guzzling ground water, depleting water resources and threatening native tree species. So much so that the Government of South Africa has banned the planting of the Jacaranda. This episode takes a peek into this gorgeous tree with tips on what to keep in mind for tree-planting drives.

It's really an eye opener for all environment enthusiasts, who start planting saplings during vanamohtsava and world environment day.
This video clearly educated why local species have to be conserved and thrived .

I remember backside of house there was huge bayan tree. As you showed yellow colour Jacaranda Tree reminds me very well the huge tree, when yellow flower blooms the next day the ground is full of yellow flower carpet. Which looks really good.

[@treetalkwithmallikaravikumar]

Banyans are grand and beautiful :) Thanks for sharing. The jacaranda is the purple one. Yellow is laburnum, and exotic yellow is tabebuia

[@paulafreitag736]

Yes my memory is of my mom and our jacaranda

[@treetalkwithmallikaravikumar]

That's wonderful :)

[@siddhita22]

Would you consider sharing some flowering trees like these but dont intake alot of water ?

[@treetalkwithmallikaravikumar]

Sure. Thank you for asking. I'd suggest native trees like laburnum(amaltas) ...gorgeous yellow flowers; and Palash (Flame of the forest) ...lovely crimson flowers; Pangara (Indian coral tree)...bright lovely red flowers, Bakain (India berry)...soft scented lilac flowers in spring; Champa and Aakash neem (white flowers) intoxicating heady scent. There are many more :) Hooe this helps.

Jacaranda and tabebuia have been there is Bangalore for very long time. And there was no water crisis. I think if you send.northies back to their respective places water crisis can be prevented

💥💥💥💥💥
what a joke
jacaranda tree drinks more water in other countries but in its native country it does not,😂😂😂

[@treetalkwithmallikaravikumar]

It's native home is equitorial and tropical forests of the Amazon where the water table is high. Bangalore's typical vegetation is semi deciduous. The research shared in the video, the problems experts claim it has caused in Africa, and the legislation passed in South Africa to not plant this tree may all be a joke for you - pl counter it with some research and data if you have any.
