Fruit trees in Dubai have to cope with summer heat, alkaline soil and salty water, and the mild winters mean that temperate fruit needing a cold spell rarely crops here. The trees below can fruit in UAE conditions, and each page gives the harvest window, watering and the usual reasons for a poor crop. Young trees can take a few years to carry a full harvest, so plant early.
