Well Liz, considering that a Jacaranda has a fair expectation of growing to 12 x 12 metres, with a trunk diam of 60+ cm, and doesn't mind a bit of water if an old sewer is nearby, I think it would be prudent to move it next winter during its dormant period-July August should be OK. If its 2m tall, try to get a rootball 50-60 cm across and say 30-40cm deep.
It may take a few weeks longer to kick back and start reshooting but it will, given water and a dose or 2 of Formula 20.
Most people just seem to ignore what they see all around in terms of potential tree sizes, leading to problems or a tree which has to be cut down and wasted.
Regards
