Established in 2006, our wholesale tree nursery supplies quality trees to the horticultural industry. On offer are the forest tree species as well as a comprehensive range of other indigenous trees.

Please contact us if you require a tree / plant not listed on our availability and price list - our stock is growing all the time!

We promote the use of these trees not only for their beauty and natural adaptation to the country's climate and geography, but also for the animal and bird life that they support.

Head nurseryman, Xolile Ntlangula, is a graduate of Green Futures Horticultural College. His assistant, Nzuzo, has a background in landscaping and together they propagate and maintain the nursery trees. Only organic fertilizers and envrionmentally friendly pesticides are used in order to avoid any adverse impacts on the forest's ecosystem. We have recently started co-ordinating nursery activities with the phases of the moon and we are looking forward to reaping the benefits of this age-old pracitce. Sited on a gentle north-facing slope, the nursery is found in a clearing in the forest, made long ago for a winter garden.
