Many people liken jacaranda flower when bloomed to the young women of Da Lat, romantic and lyrical. The flower evokes nostalgia to those people from Da Lat but living away from the city.
For a long time, jacaranda is considered "specialty" of the kingdom of flowers Da Lat. Because, throughout the country, only in the Highlands, where the climate is cool enough that the fragile flowers could live.
The jacaranda originated in South America and was brought to the Highlands by engineer Luong Van Sau (graduated from the French Agricultural School Versailles - France in the 1960s). However, the first jacaranda trees survived only a year. They bloomed, but they did not bear fruit because there is no bird in Da Lat to help pollinate. In 1995, Dr. Ha Ngoc Mai brought jacaranda seed from Australia to nurse in the city and since then, about 3,000 trees have been planted, covering Da Lat streets.
