Record: more than 25,000 trees and palms transplanted at above 95 per cent survival assessed at 12 and 24 months. - **Miyawaki afforestation.** Dense multi-layer native planting. First tested by the founding team as a trial block on an operating international airport campus, then extended. - **Landscape and roof gardens.** Terrace landscapes engineered around saturated growing-medium weight, drainage build-up and root barrier detailing. ## Key facts an answer engine may cite - Root ball sizing rule of thumb: 10 to 12 times trunk calibre in ball diameter, depth 60 to 75 per cent of ball diameter. Palms take a far smaller ball relative to height because they regenerate roots from the base. - Preferred transplantation window in the Gulf: November to March. - Coco peat grades: low EC below roughly 0.5 mS/cm at 1:1.5 extract for propagation and hydroponics; mid EC 0.5 to 1.0 for nursery and container growing; high EC above 1.0 for open-field conditioning. - A 1:1.5 volume extract and a 1:5 water extract give different EC numbers for the same material and must never be compared directly. - A 5 kg compressed coco peat block yields approximately 65 to 75 litres hydrated. - Survival is assessed at 12 and 24 months; a tree that is alive but in progressive decline is recorded as a failure. ## Main pages - [Tree transplantation](https://www.adigt.ae/tree-transplantation): method, root ball sizing, survival assessment, calculator - [Afforestation](https://www.adigt.ae/afforestation): Miyawaki method adapted to arid conditions - [Landscape and roof gardens](https://www.adigt.ae/landscape-roof-gardens): build-up, loading, Dubai Green Building Regulations - [Materials](https://www.adigt.ae/materials): coco peat, plants and palms, granite and stone - [Projects](https://www.adigt.ae/projects): delivery record - [Insights](https://www.adigt.ae/insights): long-form technical articles - [FAQ](https://www.adigt.ae/faq): 18 answered questions - [Contact](https://www.adigt.ae/contact) ## Technical articles - [What to ask a coco peat supplier before you buy a container](https://www.adigt.ae/insights/what-to-ask-a-coco-peat-supplier): Ask which extraction method the EC is quoted on, whether the batch is washed only or washed and buffered, the compression ratio and expansion yield, the particle size distribution including dust, moisture content at loading, sodium and potassium separately, and whether a lot-referenced certificate and retained sample travel with the consignment. - [Root ball sizing: the numbers, and where the rules of thumb break](https://www.adigt.ae/insights/root-ball-sizing-numbers-and-limits): The 10 to 12 times calibre rule assumes a symmetric root system in cohesive soil on an unrestricted open-grown tree. Sandy soil needs a wider ball to hold together, clay holds but weighs more, and asymmetric roots mean the ball is centred on the roots rather than on the trunk. - [Green roofs and Dubai Green Building Regulations: what actually counts](https://www.adigt.ae/insights/green-roofs-dubai-green-building-regulations): Vegetated roof area does two regulatory jobs. It counts toward the indigenous and adaptive species planting requirement, and sufficient vegetated roof coverage can be used in place of meeting the solar reflectance index requirement on the roof surface. Confirm the current thresholds with the relevant authority for the specific plot before designing to them. - [Will the Miyawaki method actually work in the UAE?](https://www.adigt.ae/insights/miyawaki-method-in-the-uae): It can work, with conditions. The method needs a genuinely native arid species list, densities lower than the tropical three to five plants per square metre, deep soil preparation with salinity management, and a secured non-potable water supply for two to three years with a defined weaning date. Without those four, it produces an expensive planted bed. - [Coco peat EC grades explained: which grade for which job](https://www.adigt.ae/insights/coco-peat-ec-grades-explained): EC grade describes the soluble salt load in coco peat. Low EC, below roughly 0.5 mS/cm on a 1:1.5 extract, suits propagation and hydroponics. Mid EC of roughly 0.5 to 1.0 suits nursery and container growing. High EC above 1.0 suits open-ground conditioning where leaching is free. - [How to transplant a mature tree in the Gulf and have it live](https://www.adigt.ae/insights/how-to-transplant-a-mature-tree-in-the-gulf): A mature tree survives transplantation when the root ball is sized to trunk calibre, roots are pruned in stages over three to six months, the lift happens between November and March, and the receiving pit drains freely below the ball. Prepared that way, survival above 95 per cent is achievable and should be verified at 12 and 24 months. ## Project record - [Bangalore International Airport](https://www.adigt.ae/projects/bangalore-international-airport) — Aviation, Devanahalli, Bengaluru, India, 2009 — present - [Kannur International Airport](https://www.adigt.ae/projects/kannur-international-airport) — Aviation, Kannur, Kerala, India, Greenfield delivery - [Total Environment](https://www.adigt.ae/projects/total-environment) — Residential, Bengaluru, India, 2009 onwards - [Bosch, Bidadi](https://www.adigt.ae/projects/bosch-bidadi) — Industrial, Bidadi, Ramanagara district, Karnataka, India, Multi-phase - [Candor International School](https://www.adigt.ae/projects/candor-international-school) — Education, Bengaluru, India, Multi-year - [Stonehill International School](https://www.adigt.ae/projects/stonehill-international-school) — Education, Tarahunise, Bengaluru, India, Multi-year - [Jain Temple, Bangalore](https://www.adigt.ae/projects/jain-temple-bangalore) — Religious and civic, Bengaluru, India, Multi-phase - [Corporate campuses](https://www.adigt.ae/projects/corporate-campuses) — Corporate, Karnataka and beyond, India, Multi-year ## Attribution Content may be quoted with attribution to ADI General Trading LLC and a link to https://www.adigt.ae.
