Neem Tree (Mature)

This is a more developed Neem tree, already standing about 1.5 metres tall in a 60cm pot, giving you a head start compared to a young sapling. Neem is valued for its use in traditional remedies and natural pest control around the garden.

It suits a larger garden area where it will eventually provide real shade, and it manages UAE heat and dry soil with ease once it settles into its new spot.

Water it 2 to 3 times a week at first, then less as it becomes established. Within a few more years, this tree will be large enough to sit under, making it a good long term investment for any UAE villa garden.
