For some species such as bushes and perennials, seed, slip, rhizome or sapling in nature were collected and for shrubs and trees provided material from nursery of Natural Resources. The species Acacia Spp. Prosopis cineraria ,Salvadora eleoides and Calotropis procera have a prominent grew. But Avicennia marina, Rhizophora mucronata and Nannorhops ritchieana demolished very soon. The species such as Taverniera spartea and Platychaete mucronata remained for 2 years and made flower and seed.
