{"product_id":"green-conocarpus-damas-dubai","title":"Green Conocarpus (Damas)","description":"\u003cp\u003eGreen Conocarpus, known across the UAE as Damas, is the fastest way to build a green screen in a Dubai garden. It is sold here in two nursery sizes, 1m at AED 30 and 2m at AED 95, and is planted for hedges, boundary screening and windbreaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDamas is evergreen, holds dense foliage in full sun, and handles 45°C summers, sandy soil and salty irrigation water better than almost anything else grown here. Plants are grown at our Warsan 3 nursery on drip irrigation and leave in their nursery bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to plant Green Conocarpus in the UAE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a solid hedge, plant two to three per metre in a trench rather than separate holes, so the roots share improved soil. Water daily for the first four to six weeks while the roots take, then move to deep irrigation every two or three days through summer and less in winter. Feed in spring and again in autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrim two or three times a year to keep the screen dense; Damas responds to hard pruning and thickens after each cut. Left untrimmed it grows quickly into a tree of several metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere Green Conocarpus works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits villa boundaries, compound fences, farm and labour accommodation perimeters, car park edges and any spot that needs privacy or wind protection in one season rather than three. It is a common choice for \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/landscaping-service\"\u003elandscaping projects\u003c\/a\u003e where a site needs to look finished quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne caution worth knowing before you plant: Damas has strong, thirsty roots. Keep it at least two to three metres from boundary walls, paving, pipework and septic or irrigation lines, and check your community or municipality rules, as some developments restrict it near infrastructure. For tighter spots near a wall, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/privacy-shade-ornamental-trees\"\u003eFicus Nitida or Ficus Panda\u003c\/a\u003e are the safer screening choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does Damas grow in Dubai?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith drip irrigation and feeding it is one of the fastest growers available here, commonly putting on a metre or more in a year, which is why it is used when a screen is needed quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many plants do I need per metre of hedge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo to three per metre for a dense screen. For a looser line of trees, space them one to two metres apart. Send us the length of your boundary and we will work out the quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich size should I buy, 1m or 2m?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1m size is cheaper per plant and establishes fast, so it suits long boundaries where you can wait a season. The 2m size gives an immediate screen for a villa garden or an entrance that needs to look finished now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need much water once established?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLess than most screening plants, but it is not a low-water plant: it grows fast because it drinks. Deep, less frequent irrigation builds deeper roots and a tougher plant.
