The important moments in your tree's life.

Seed

It all starts with a tiny seed, nice and warm in the soil.

Nursery

Your seedling is big enough to be welcomed into one of our nurseries, along with many others.

Planted

We’re here! Your tree has reached its new home: it’s been planted by a smallholder, who’ll take care of it for years to come.

Curiosity about me

The important moments in your tree's life.

Let's start with introductions

To tell the truth, the Sesbania is not a particularly large tree. At first glance, some might underestimate it, but they’d be impressed to discover how many useful things this tree – which may not be very big, but is definitely surprising – can do! And after all, as the Greek philosopher Sophocles said, “the greatest joy is the unexpected”.

Meaning

Ability to surprise

Even though it's a rather small tree, it has many uses and a thousand ways to be helpful. Besides, as the saying goes, "the best things, come in small packages".

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

2024

0 kg

2034

-100 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

Anti-wind

Anti-wind

It protects young plants from the wind and reduces water evaporation from the soil.

Soil

Soil

It improves the quality of the soil thanks to the nitrogen fixation process or it reduces soil erosion, thanks to its extended root system.

My benefits

60%

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.

60%

Economic development

The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.

30%

CO₂ Absorption

During its life cycle, each tree will offset CO₂. The trees that you plant can offset your emissions.

90%

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.
