About this plant
Tree Jasmine (Millingtonia hortensis), also called the Indian cork tree, is a tall, upright evergreen to semi-deciduous tree native to South and Southeast Asia. It has a narrow crown of feathery, divided leaves, corky gray bark and clusters of long, white, tubular flowers that are strongly fragrant, especially in the evening. It is not a true jasmine.
It grows well in Dubai's heat and full sun with regular watering, and its narrow habit fits gardens where wide shade trees would not. It flowers mainly in the cooler months. Its wood is somewhat brittle, so it is best planted out of the strongest winds, and it can sucker from the roots. Young trees need deep watering through their first summers.
It works along boundary walls, driveways, narrow side gardens and in groups for height and scent. We offer it from 2–2.5 m up to 3–4 m trees.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Tree Jasmine 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. Feeding: a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring. Common mistake: planting it in a very windy, exposed spot where its brittle branches can break. Where it works: boundary walls, driveways, narrow side gardens and grouped plantings for height.
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.
Pets
