    Unfortunately, the answer is not very pleasing to hear. They are very picky about their climate. Anything outside of what they prefer will cause them to fail to flower, as well as show improper growth patterns.

    Unfortunately, there can be a large gap for when it, first, flowers. It can take between 2 and 14 years before you see the first bloom! This will depend, largely, on proper climate and care.

    The art of Bonsai takes lots and lots of practice! Don't be discouraged, as you may kill hundreds of seedling, and trees before you get one that grows like you want.

    Learning the basics, and starting with a tree that is very hard to kill is a good idea. Privet is forgiving, and will be easy to form into bonsai since they are already tolerant of cramped roots, overpruning, and very little feeding.

    As far as why a seed didn't germinate... There are too many reason, but trying again will be the first thing. If the other seeds are germinating, then it could be that the one particular seed was dead, or inactive.

    They won't hurt the tree, but they won't really keep weeds out either. As the shells degrade, they slowly leach calcium into the soil which will raise the pH of the soil.

    Yes, the overwatering is likely causing disease. These should only need water during drought, or periods of dry weather.

    Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I would advise contacting the city, as they will need to come out and assess the tree.

    This seems to be an aged tree. They don't live a terribly long time, so it is probably getting too old and weak to sustain its own weight. This is common as the Jacaranda ages. You can choose to take the tree down, or let it fall apart on its own.

    Here is an article that will help you to care for the tree:
