Correct answer: 19th century

The first two Jacaranda trees were imported from Brazil in 1888 and planted at a school in Arcadia. Today, Pretoria boasts over 70,000 of these trees, which turn the city into a sea of purple every October. Because of this spectacular annual bloom, Pretoria is widely known across South Africa as the Jacaranda City. Photo: João Medeiros, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0.
