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.
Tree Talk is a channel that delves into the history, mythology, and cultural symbolism of trees and plants.

Trees sucking the water? They don't drill the borewell to exploit the groundwater. 😡

Plant neem, peepal, kadamb, bargad, baikan best for environment

@treetalkwithmallikaravikumar 2 месяца назад

Absolutely!

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 . Ty for the valuable information

i am so happy that i chanced upon your channel. As a matter of fact, I was just as mesmerised when i first set eyes on it and we're talking some 1250 metres above sea level; somewhere in a tiny hill station in Tamil Nadu. When you mentioned about its incredible ability to deplete ground water; Im sure that would be an issue when it comes to here coz this place receives 7 months of rainfall in a year. So taken back i was that i also picked a few seed pods off the ground and germinated some to plant near our home. And did you know, its saplings (may be two years or so ) smell just as sweet as the flower. I am amazed at how the sapling when caught in a gentle drift of breeze brings about/wafts that same fragrance. it confused me first and thought it could be another nearby plant, but then when i actually did a sniff test, it actually was that very sapling. Can you be kind enought to explain why is that so ?

Thank you for sharing your experience and joy at discovering the jacaranda. I can totally relate to it. So glad the channel is reaching like minded people :) Regarding your question, honestly I have no idea! I have only seen jacaranda trees and know the flowers are very sticky. I have no experience with the sapling. Sounds interesting that the sapling has such a strong fragrance. Will try and find out. Thanks for sharing this. :)

It warms my heart to see such videos. GO Native, can't put more emphasis on this. Too many Indian species are being extinct, and are on the red list, yet people have difficult time understanding this issue. It is the human greed for timber, medicine and other resources that exotic species are being imported. One more thing is, human ego, "Look I can plant this species that is from so and so country". I want, I like, I need, thus I will do so, this attitude have and will destroy many Eco-systems. Millions of other species are there in nature that we should consider. Keep up the good work, you are doing god's work.🙏🏽

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 3 месяца назад

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

There are many trees whom people have often accused of "depleting" water sources. They have said that about Eucalyptus, Mesquite, fruit trees, and other trees for years. The REALITY is that all trees use up a large amount of water. But trees help to INCREASE rainfall. Research in the deserts in China, India, Africa, and South America have found that when you increase tree coverage by 50,000 acres in a desert area, the amount of rain that that area gets increases in a 10 year period (there will still be droughts in that 10 year period, but there will also be WAY more rain there than if the trees were not there). This is due to evapotranspiration, the process of trees pumping water up from the ground and out through the leaves. The humidity created by a forest mixes with the humidity already in the air. And when there is enough water in the air and the right conditions are in place, clouds form and precipitation starts. So lets keep these trees where they are. Otherwise, you may get no water at all

What is your opinion about amaltaas and gulmohar in case of water consumption 🙏🙏 please reply

@treetalkwithmallikaravikumar Месяц назад

Amaltas is indigenous to India. It is not exotic like Jacaranda and Gulmohur. Amaltas is also very beautiful. A good tree to plant. Gulmohur is not native to India. It comes from Madagascar. It has very shallow roots and is one of the first trees to fall /break branches in heavy rain and wind.

@siddhita22 2 месяца назад

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

@treetalkwithmallikaravikumar 2 месяца назад

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.

Ok can u please tell me how soon does a seed grown jacarandes flower?

@treetalkwithmallikaravikumar Месяц назад

I have not planted a jacaranda. But I think it will take a few years to get from seed to flower stage - might be 10 years or more.

@thangvung29 Месяц назад

How much ground water does it absorb I.e full grown jacaranda

@treetalkwithmallikaravikumar Месяц назад

I was not able to find any specific quantity in any of the articles I looked up. The reports based on which the law was passed in South Africa may have some quantitative data.

@Greenwood2106 2 месяца назад

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 Месяц назад

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.
