If you live in zone 10-12 it is probably a Jacaranda or a Poinciana. If the blooms are blue its a Jacaranda. If red a Poinciana. If it has thorns it is a Jacaranda. Both beautiful trees when in bloom. If the leafs are alternating it could be either one. If not alternating or just side by side on the stem its a mimosa

Looks like a Mimosa to me.

I'm in Zone 10a. The blooms look to be purple. Do you still think it may be Jacaranda? I'm not familiar.

Thank you!!

I have been seeing a lot of them on TV ads lately but they are manicured. Gorgeous trees.

Unless they’re over concrete, then they’re MESSY!! Purple, slimy, sticky stuff all over for 3 months. But yes, very pretty trees. Oh and don’t EVER park underneath one if it’s blooming. But very pretty trees.
