Description
Busida Tree / Bucida Buceras Red carries layered horizontal branches and reddish new growth on a tough trunk built for coastal landscaping.
Heights run from 2 metres to 5 metres, priced from AED 399 to AED 1599.
Bucida is one of the more salt tolerant landscape trees used in Dubai, which is why it turns up along coastal roads and in beachside developments. It also handles compacted sandy fill and alkaline ground, though the small leaves drop steadily and collect in pool skimmers and gutters.
How to care for Busida Tree / Bucida Buceras Red in the UAE
Full sun with deep irrigation while it establishes, then moderate water. Prune to lift the canopy as it grows. The most common problem here is planting it too close to paving, since surface roots and constant fine leaf litter cause more trouble than the tree itself.
Where Busida Tree / Bucida Buceras Red works best
Use it for shade over a driveway, a parking bay, or a boundary line on a coastal plot. Specimens over roughly 3 metres arrive and go into the ground with the MyPlants team on site. See our shade and ornamental tree collection.
FAQ
How much shade does a Bucida Buceras give?
The branching is tiered and spreads wide, so a mature tree casts broad dense shade. That suits parking and seating areas more than a small garden.
Does Bucida Buceras tolerate coastal salt spray?
Yes. It is planted widely near the coast in the Emirates and handles salt laden wind better than most ornamental shade trees of similar size.
Plants Care
Watering:
Water your plant once a week or when the soil starts to feel slightly dry on the surface. Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause brown spots and leaf drop. If the leaves become curly or dry, it's a sign that the plant needs water. It's best to water your plant in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are cooler. Always check the soil before watering.
Light:
Provide bright indoor light or indirect sunlight for about 6 to 8 hours a day.
Temperature:
Maintain temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid exposing the plant to drafts, as these can cause undesirable temperature fluctuations. Mist the plant occasionally, about twice a week, to help maintain optimal humidity levels.
Fertilizer:
Apply liquid fertiliser every 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results, use Folikraft ready-to-use Indoor Plant Food.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! We ensure that every plant we send out meets two key criteria:
- We carefully inspect each plant for signs of root rot, pests, disease, and unhealthy foliage or stems. If we find any issues, we don’t ship the plant. This meticulous care ensures that every plant is healthy and ready to thrive in its new home.
- We ask ourselves if we’d proudly display the plant in our own homes and if it matches the online photos. If both answers are yes, we ship it. However, if you're not happy with your plant, we offer a hassle-free replacement within 14 days of delivery.
Yes, we strive to match the appearance of the plants shown online. While natural variations in color, shape, and size are to be expected, we do our best to ensure your plant closely resembles its online image.
Your plant will arrive in its nursery pot to ensure safe transportation. We recommend leaving it in this pot for at least 6 to 12 months to acclimate to your home’s environment. For succulents, which acclimate faster, we may replant them before shipping.
Consider the following:
- Light: A bright, indirect light spot offers more plant options than a shady area.
- Time: Some plants need minimal care, while others require more attention.
- Style: Choose plants that match your aesthetic, whether tree-like with large leaves or vining varieties.
