About this collection
Drought Tolerant Trees for Dubai Landscapes
The intersection of the low water range and the Middle East proven list, which is where most Emirates schedules actually sit: not desert planting, but planting that has to hold condition on a reduced and often recycled irrigation supply. Acacia, Ficus, Pinus, Cassia, Tabebuia, Plumeria, Ziziphus, Lagerstroemia and Pandanus lead it.
On Emirates projects the water is usually treated sewage effluent, which brings salinity and nutrient loading rather than scarcity, so drought tolerance alone is not the whole specification. Ask for the water analysis. See salt tolerant trees for Dubai coastal areas where salinity is the binding issue, and trees for UAE for the wider Emirates list.
