The Royal Poinciana, or Flame Tree, is one of the most spectacular flowering trees that will grow in the Gulf. In early summer its broad, umbrella-like canopy erupts in brilliant scarlet-orange bloom — a genuine event in the landscape calendar and a signature moment for any scheme built around it.
Beyond the flowers, it is a valuable shade tree: fast-growing, with a wide spreading crown and delicate fern-like foliage that casts dappled, welcome shade over plazas, parking and boulevards. It handles heat and full sun well and, once established, is moderate on water.
It flowers and performs best with room for its wide crown and adequate root space, so siting is key. We supply well-branched, acclimatised specimens grown for strong form and reliable flowering, delivered wholesale across the UAE for feature, avenue and amenity planting.
