[Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page

[Dick]

Unless you want a gigantic bush, I suggest that you start over with a new 
tree. A single trunk is the natural form of Jacaranda and the few I saw on 
the Coast that had been severely pruned were a mess but with skillful 
pruning, perhaps, yours may turn out better. different.
