@botanicsydney: Sydney's purple icon 💜 Buckle up and join Senior Arborist Matt Coyne as he takes you high into the canopy of Sydney's most famous jacaranda. Perched among the branches, Matt gives us a tree-top view of its structure, health and vitality, all while enjoying one of the most spectacular backdrops in the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney. This grand old specimen is the oldest jacaranda in Sydney and the oldest living jacaranda in Australia, approaching an incredible 170 years old next year.
