About this collection
Residential Landscaping Trees
Villa and garden planting works to a different set of limits from public realm work: smaller root runs, closer boundaries, higher expectations of tidiness and an owner who will notice every fallen leaf. Plumeria, Conocarpus erectus and its silver form, Pittosporum tobira, Acacia stenophylla, Parkinsonia, Citrus and Hymenosporum all sit comfortably inside those limits.
The common mistake at this scale is specifying a public realm shade tree into a courtyard, where it will be topped within five years and never recover its form. Choose for mature width first. For the planting that surrounds these trees see shrubs for UAE, and for the low layer, ground cover plants.
