Indian Laurel (Ficus nitida) | Mature, 4.0–6.0 m

These are the largest Indian Laurels in our collection — mature specimens standing 4.0–6.0 m tall with the kind of dense, established canopy that takes years to develop. Whether you need a commanding shade tree, a natural boundary screen, or an instant focal point for a villa garden, these trees deliver landscape presence from the day they go into the ground.

Key Features

• Two size options: 4.0–4.5 m (AED 8,500) and 5.5–6.0 m (AED 12,500) — our largest Indian Laurel specimens
• Dense, glossy evergreen canopy that provides substantial shade, wind screening, and year-round privacy
• Mature trunk development indicating deeply established root systems ready for reliable transplanting
• The most proven landscape tree species in the UAE — used extensively across municipal, commercial, and residential settings
• Instant impact — these specimens bypass years of waiting and deliver a fully formed canopy immediately

Why It Works in Dubai

Ficus nitida is the single most successful landscape tree in the UAE, and specimens of this size represent the pinnacle of what the species can deliver. At 4.0–6.0 m, these trees have root systems that are deeply established and canopies that have been shaped by years of healthy growth. They handle full sun, extreme heat, sandy and alkaline soils, wind exposure, and even coastal salt spray without complaint. The dense canopy creates a genuine microclimate beneath it — measurably cooler ground temperatures and meaningful shade that transforms outdoor living areas during Dubai’s summer months.

Care Snapshot
