At AED 6,500, it is a once-only acquisition — a centrepiece that transforms any courtyard, terrace, or reception area into something truly extraordinary.
Key Features
- Sculptural Trunk: Thick, gnarled trunk (70–80 cm girth) with beautifully aged bark and natural character
- Trained Bonsai Form: Standing 1.5–2.0 m — architectural presence without overwhelming the space
- Evergreen Foliage: Silvery-green leaves that stay lush year-round in Dubai's climate
- Drought-Tolerant: Sun-loving and low-water — thrives outdoors with minimal intervention
- One Unit Available: A singular specimen — once it's gone, it's gone
Why It Works in Dubai
Olive trees are Mediterranean natives built for heat, full sun, and long dry spells — conditions that mirror Dubai's climate almost exactly. This bonsai specimen requires far less water than most ornamental trees of comparable visual impact, and it handles the intense summer sun without leaf scorch or stress. The low humidity and free-draining soils found across Dubai actually benefit olive root health, reducing the risk of rot. It is one of the few premium specimen trees that looks better with age in this environment, not worse.
Care Snapshot
| Light | Full sun, minimum 6 hours direct sunlight daily |
| Water | Deep soak when the top 5 cm of soil is dry; reduce in winter |
| Soil | Well-draining sandy or loamy mix; avoid waterlogged conditions |
| Temperature | Thrives in Dubai's heat; tolerates temperatures down to 5 °C |
| Skill Level | Intermediate — light shaping in late winter to maintain bonsai form; remove suckers at the base |
