Hello Jeannie.
Nice to see more people getting into it.
As a few days I responded for a similar case, Jacaranda's are "leggy" by nature, and if you want some proportion on the trunk, it must grow a lot taller than that.
However, in order to grow that much, the tree needs a lot of light (outside), and a big pot so it's roots can grow at the same pace.
Once you get the desire thickness on the trunk, you prune it back down.
What you can do, is to help on the process of ramification, by cutting it's tip top, that will encourage the plant to develop some side branches.
