The important moments in your tree's life.
Typical of the Mediterranean region, the Aleppo pine is usually found near the coast, although its habitat has gradually expanded and the trees can now be found at over 600 metres above sea level. Reaching up to 15 metres in height, the trees are distinctive for their fine, green-grey needles that can measure 10 cm in length and grow in pairs around the buds. Its small, reddish-brown cones are similar to those of other Scots pines. With its highly characteristic scent, its resin has been widely used since antiquity.
Did you ever taste Retsina wine? This is a Greek wine to which resin is added... the resin of the Aleppo pine. Which is what gives it the unmistakable bitter taste.

* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
It provides protection for crops and shade for livestock.
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.
