About this collection
Trees for Middle Eastern Landscapes
The regional palette in full, wider than the desert list because it takes in the coastal, irrigated and shaded microclimates that Gulf projects contain alongside genuinely arid ground. Acacia, Ficus, Citrus, Cassia, Bauhinia, Tabebuia, Plumeria, Ziziphus, Barringtonia and Pandanus all recur across Saudi, Emirates and wider GCC schedules.
Very few Gulf sites are uniform, so a single regional palette is a starting point rather than an answer: a corniche edge, a shaded courtyard and an exposed car park in the same development need three different lists. Split the site first, then use desert, coastal and shade as the working sublists, or test a destination directly in the destination matcher. If the palette has not yet been split by plant type at all, our top picks for the Middle East is the widest regional starting point.
