About this collection
Shade Trees
Shade is the single most requested performance in Gulf public realm work, and it is a function of crown density and crown width rather than of height. Ficus leads on both, with Albizia lebbeck, Melia azedarach, Terminalia and Brachychiton giving broad spreading crowns, and Magnolia, Syzygium, Elaeocarpus and Flindersia for denser, more contained canopies.
Shade at handover and shade at maturity are different specifications, and the gap between them is the reason advanced stock exists. Decide which one the brief is buying before sizes are fixed. For civic and campus ground see shade trees for public parks and gardens, and for Gulf schemes specifically, shade trees for public parks in Dubai.
