you won't get a real one that big here, best artificial ones are at Falcon Gallery in Al Quoz, they supply the hotels etc. I got mine there :rolleyes: Meow will confirm it's splendour :p

It is indeed splendid. :D

In the past Dubai Garden centre (the world's most expensive garden centre) has had trees of some 8 foot. You are really keen (& don't mind their prices) ask them if you can have a bigger one.

I wouldn't waste your money on real ones, they are never as good as at home, get a good imitation one from Falcon and it will last for years :)

Best bet is to go to the newish plant souq just off academic city road they usually have loads for sale there only problem is you cant see them outside of the nets and I'm very fussy about shape !!
