Long Beach, California: Seas of Purple Abound in Long Beach

 Jacaranda Trees in Long Beach

Long Beach Real Estate is awash in a sea of purple.  We have neighborhoods and streets filled with these trees.  They line both sides of the street in several neighborhoods creating an illusion of purple.  Inspite of all that beauty, the homeowners complain that the blooms that fall off the trees turn everything purple!  The city decided to use these trees because they are fast growingand they provide nice shade.

I always liked those trees when they were in bloom.  I never lived near them, so I never had to worry about the mess they created.

Beautiful. I love Jacaranda trees. We used to have a nice one at our former home but they are not very common in South Orange County.
