Jacaranda trees warning

To the editor:

I have a warning about jacaranda trees. They are beautiful, but they grow into huge trees with huge surface roots. I had three taken down in my back yard, but the roots are still there. Most flowering trees that grow to be very tall have huge surface roots. Look on the Internet. They are an invasive tree, and will take over native plants. I wouldn`t plant one ever again. Admire them from afar.
