What is the seed dispersal for a Jacaranda?

Jacaranda trees disperse their seeds primarily through gravity and wind. The seeds, which are small and winged, fall from the mature seed pods when they dry out and split open. As they drop, wind can carry them short distances away from the parent tree, facilitating germination in suitable locations. Additionally, animals may inadvertently aid in dispersal by carrying seeds on their fur or through consumption and later excretion.
