About Native Nuseries

In 2011, Native Nuseries started producing native trees for the reforestation sector, providing high-quality trees that can better survive in their environment. This led the founders to realize that the circulated root at the bottom of a regular tree pot is harmful to the tree’s roots. The founder of Native Nurseries, Khaled Salem, came up with a solution to prevent the damage from occurring. He introduced the usage of air pots that produce a fibrous root system by pruning root tips and more roots inside the soil. The latter innovation allows the trees to produce healthier leaves and stems
