Which tree suits me?

Count the hours of direct sun the spot gets in summer. More than six is full sun, and most of our shade trees want exactly that. Less than three and you are looking at a shade-tolerant species instead.

Within roughly two kilometres of the Red Sea, salt-laden wind burns the leaves of sensitive species. Filter for salt-tolerant varieties and the problem disappears.

Check the mature height and canopy spread, not the size of the plant we deliver. A tree planted too close to a wall becomes a decade of pruning, or a cracked wall.
