Terminalia Cattapa

Terminalia Cattapa, also known as the Indian Almond Tree or Tropical Almond, is a large, broad-canopied tree valued for its shade, beauty, and resilience. Growing up to 450 cm in height with a 40 mm trunk diameter, this tree in a 70 Ltr pot is available at 770 AED, making it a perfect choice for both residential and commercial landscapes.

Its defining feature is its horizontal branching pattern, which creates a wide umbrella-like canopy, providing extensive shade and cooling outdoor environments. The foliage of Terminalia Cattapa changes color with the seasons, transitioning from deep green to shades of red, yellow, and purple before shedding – a rare and eye-catching quality in the UAE landscape.

Highly adaptable to coastal areas, the tree tolerates saline soils, drought, and high temperatures, making it suitable for gardens, roadside planting, resorts, and beachfront landscapes. It also produces almond-like seeds, adding to its uniqueness.

With its aesthetic appeal, shade provision, and durability in harsh climates, Terminalia Cattapa is a sustainable and attractive tree for large open spaces, urban greenery, and eco-friendly landscaping projects across the UAE.
