The important moments in your tree's life.
A native of southern China, the Orange tree is an evergreen that produces small white and green flowers in addition to the well-known, succulent fruit. Oranges are planted for dietary purposes and to aid the local economy through fruit commerce.
The characteristic orange color symbolizes trust, optimism, and a positive mood.

* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
Its fruits, seeds and/or leaves are used as food in the farmers' families or are sold on local markets.
Its leaves, roots, bark and/or fruits are used in traditional medicine.
Raw materials are extracted from its flowers, fruits and/or leaves to produce creams or powders.
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.
