U-Fla extension considers them to thrive better in zone 9B to 11
We are considered 9A here.
Beautiful tree in bloom, but as your link states, it grows quite tall and spreads quite large and when it sheds…. it drops a lot of debris seasonally. (Some varieties are semi or fully deciduous) Messier than Crepe Myrtles.
Needs some care in pruning, as well to hold up in storms. They sometimes split in half if that is not done as they tend to splay out in growth pattern.
Not to say there aren't any here, but I can see why Jacarandas would not be used often, despite how lovely they can be.
