About us

Vivai Isgrò Salvatore is a plant nursery business in Terme Vigliatore, in the Messina area.

We grow citrus and olive trees in pots, for ornamental use only, and sell them wholesale.

Our story

  • The nursery grew out of a craft that the Isgrò family has handed down from father to son.

  • Today it is run by Salvatore Isgrò and his sons Filippo, Antonino and Gabriele.

  • Together they produce, grow and care for the plants, and plan every stage of the work.

  • This is how production keeps growing, and every delivery lives up to the one before.

Where our plants grow

The nursery is in Contrada Chiesa Vecchia, where the mild climate is well suited to nursery growing.

Our business covers about 3 hectares: greenhouses, areas under anti-hail netting and open field.

The large flat areas and good groundwater reserves allow us to grow without heated greenhouses.

Citrus and olive trees are Mediterranean plants, and here they grow in pots.

From certified seed to grafting

  • We raise 95% of our plants in the nursery, directly from certified seed.

  • The seedling grown from seed becomes the rootstock onto which we graft every variety we produce.

Inspection before loading

Before being loaded onto the trolleys, every plant is checked individually.

The aim is a uniform order, down to the very last plant.

After inspection, the plants leave directly from Terme Vigliatore, where carriers come to load them.
