About this plant
Yellow Poinciana suits outdoor spots with full sun. Its pet safety is not confirmed, so check with your vet if you have pets.
Yellow Poinciana (copperpod, Peltophorum pterocarpum) is a fast-growing shade tree with feathery leaves and sprays of yellow flowers. A reliable flowering tree for Dubai.
Yellow Poinciana (Peltophorum pterocarpum), also called copperpod or yellow flame tree, is a large semi-evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia and northern Australia. It has fine, fern-like leaves, upright sprays of fragrant, crinkled yellow flowers and flat seed pods that turn a coppery red-brown as they ripen.
It is widely planted in the UAE and performs well in Dubai's heat and sun. It grows quickly with regular water, forms a broad, umbrella-shaped crown and flowers mainly in the warmer months. It drops flowers, leaves and pods, so it creates some cleanup, and its roots and size mean it needs space away from buildings and pools. Young trees need deep watering through their first summers.
It is a good shade and flowering tree for large villa gardens, compounds, parking areas and parks. We offer it at 2.0 m, 3.0 m and 4.0 m.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Yellow Poinciana healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Full sun. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 2–3 days in summer for the first year, then weekly; less in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: deep, well-draining garden soil; tolerates sandy ground. Feeding: a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring. Common mistake: planting it over a pool or patio, where the flower and pod drop becomes a constant cleanup. Where it works: large villa gardens, compounds, parking areas and parks.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
