Terminalia dhofarica is a dry-season deciduous tree from the Dhofar region of southern Oman and Yemen, growing up to about 12 m tall. It needs a warm, frost-free climate and well-drained soil, and it is best grown outdoors rather than as a houseplant.
Terminalia dhofarica is a species of plant in the Combretaceae family. It is found in Oman and Yemen, where it is endemic to the South Arabian fog woodlands, shrublands, and dune ecoregion. It is threatened by habitat loss.
T. dhofarica is a tall tree which can grow up to 12 meters in height. It is dry-season deciduous, losing its leaves in November or December at the start of the winter dry season, and re-leafing when the southwest monsoon brings summer rains.
All parts of the tree are used as building material. The leaves are collected and used to produce a yellow and yellowish-green dye.
