The important moments in your tree's life.
The white carob is native to central Argentina and belongs to the Fabaceae family. Its name derives from the Spanish conquerors who mistakenly took this tree for the European algarrobo, which also produces edible pods. It's planted for its flat pods used to produce a flour to bake bread and sweets.

* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
The trees will bear fruits, some that will be edible immediately and others that can become edible through processing, ensuring food resources over time.
The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.
During its life cycle, each tree will offset CO₂. The trees that you plant can offset your emissions.
The trees are planted in agroforestry systems that favor the virtuous interaction between the different species and their positive impact on the environment and on the land.
