Here is my Jacaranda a little over a year since my last post. It's taken on an interesting shape and sprouted new branches along the trunk.
Is the thickening of the trunk still just a matter of time? Or can I encourage it to thicken now somehow? Thanks in advance.

Putting it outside in the sun will help enourmously in getting this to grow, which will help thickening it.
Note: From the cave inside to the sun outside in one go will give you sunburn, so do get the tree slowly accalmitized by putting it in a shaded / morning sun position for a few weeks first.

A question - I get quite a few questions in about the "Brazilian rosewood". Is that a scientifically correct name, or do the 'bonsai seed kits' who include 'Brazilian rosewood' seeds actually mean Jacaranda mimosifolia?
Or... Do they refer to the Brazilian rain tree?
Im confused, anyone know more about these seed kits and the proper naming?

PS. I think the Brazilian rosewood is the Dalbergia genus - correct?

No, brazilian rosewood is not a scientifically correct name. In bothany science english names are not used in any case nor anywhere. Systema nature which is the system used for plant categorization always use latin worldwide.

Yes I got that far, but can anyone enlighten me on what people who search for Brazilian rosewood are actually referring to? To tge Dalbergia genus? Or do they probably mean brazilian raintree, or Jacaranda?

Hey Oscar, there are some types of Jacarandá, the most common is the "Jacaranda Mimosifolia" which is a scientific name, that foreigns call "Braz. Rosewood", and there's another tree also called Jacarandá but on a popular way (Bahia Jacarandá or Bahia Rosewood) which is "Dalbergia Nigra".
They have nothing to do with each other, (other than the Fabaceae family and popular name).
Braz. Rain Trees are "Chloroleucon" (Most popular being the "Tortum"), so again, nothing to do other than Fabaceae...
I think most people get into Jacarandá because their seeds are easy to germinate so they'll come on those 名媛直播 kits.
P.S.: I'm a 100% sure the tree on the picture is a "Jacaranda Mimosifolia".

This has nothing to do with bonsai. I have a guitar made in 1978 in the US with back and sides made from Brazilian rosewood. Word is that importing Brazilian rosewood now is illegal.
What would the species for that Brazilian rosewood be?

Almost certain that for wood it would be Dalbergia Nigra Ivan, that's what luthiers use for guitars.
I know that because my brother is a musician.
Very classy indeed.

Just correcting a mistake, Fabaceae and Bignoniaceae used to be the same, called "Leguminosae", but it's now divided, "Dalbergia Nigra" stands as a Fabaceae, and "Jacaranda Mimosifolia" is now considered Bignoniaceae. So that makes it even more confusing, but yes, they were named after similarities on the color of the wood.
Another curious fact they you might be interested is that Brazilian Rain Trees used to be scientifically named "Pithecolobium" just years ago, and now it's "Chloroleucon", but people here still fondly calling it "Pitheco".
