Applecross is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the City of Melville.

Jacarandas

A distinguishing feature of the suburb are the jacaranda trees which line its streets and which flower in the late spring (see photo below). In keeping with this theme, Applecross is home to an annual Jacaranda festival in late November.
