Parkinsonia aculeata, or Jerusalem Thorn, is a hardy small to medium deciduous tree with a graceful weeping form. Its bark is yellow-green with spiny twigs, and it produces clusters of bright yellow flowers in spring, sporadically flowering through the year. With its high tolerance to salinity, drought, and wind, it is perfectly suited for UAE landscapes, especially in open, arid environments.
