About this collection
Heat Tolerant Trees
Sustained heat, rather than peak heat, is what removes species from a Gulf schedule: a tree that takes 48 degrees for an afternoon may still fail across four months above 40. The species here are drawn from genuinely hot habitats, led by Ziziphus mauritiana and Ziziphus nummularia, Capparis decidua, Calotropis procera, Dobera glabra and Pistacia falcata, with Lagerstroemia providing the flowering end.
Heat and drought are separate specifications and are often confused. Several heat tolerant species still want reliable water, and several drought tolerant species scorch above 45 degrees. Check both: drought tolerant trees covers water, and heat tolerant trees for KSA narrows to the Saudi palette.
