Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The igua is a fast-growing deciduous tree that usually reaches a height of 10 to 20 metres. It can be found from northern South America to Central America, but is particularly common on the Pacific coast. Here it provides the necessary shade for coffee plants in agroforestry systems.
Meaning
Lightness
The cream-coloured flowers of the Igua consist of many delicate threads that are moved by even the lightest wind.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 0 kg

-200 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
How I am useful to local communities

My benefits
20%
Food Security
The trees will bear fruits, some that will be edible immediately and others that can become edible through processing, ensuring food resources over time.
40%
Economic development
The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.
40%
CO₂ Absorption
During its life cycle, each tree will offset CO₂. The trees that you plant can offset your emissions.
50%
Environmental protection
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.
