Nitraria retusa, commonly known as Nitre bush, is a salt-tolerant and drought-resistant shrub native to desert areas of northern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Middle East. It can grow to heights of 2.5 metres (8 ft 2 in), and produces small white/green coloured flowers and small edible red fruit. It is used for fuel, fodder, and an intoxicating drink, and is important in the stabilisation of sand dunes in the Moghra Oasis. It is also being investigated as a potential fodder crop for livestock.
