When do flowering trees bloom in the UAE?
In the UAE, bauhinia flowers November to March, tabebuia in spring on bare branches, cassia in late spring, flame tree from May to July, and peltophorum through summer. Tecoma stans and frangipani flower across the warm months, giving colour in almost every month of the year.
Choosing by flowering month matters more here than in most climates, because a UAE garden is used heavily from October to April and barely at all in July. A tree that peaks in June is spectacular in photographs and invisible in practice.
For a garden you sit in, start with bauhinia (November to March) and tecoma stans (October onward). Add tabebuia for a spring event, and a flame tree only if you have the ground for it and want the summer scarlet.
Newly planted trees run a season behind. At the 30–50 litre grades we supply, expect the first real flowering in the second season after planting for flame, tabebuia and bauhinia, and often the first season for tecoma and cassia.
