The important moments in your tree's life.
It all starts with a tiny seed, nice and warm in the soil.
Your seedling is big enough to be welcomed into one of our nurseries, along with many others.
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.
Strike a pose! Now that it’s big enough, here’s a photo of your tree!

The important moments in your tree's life.
Its scientific name is Annona Muricata, but its most common names, besides Graviola, are Guanabana, Corasol and Corossole. It’s a tropical tree which today is found from Australia to America, via Asia and Africa. It shuns low temperatures and can grow up to 10-12 metres in height, developing a not particularly voluminous crown. It is prized for its fruit, also called Graviola (or soursop), which despite being covered with spikes is very sweet and juicy.
When it’s perfectly ripe, the pulp of the fruit from this tree has a flavour that balances acidity and sweetness, filling the palate but leaving the mouth ready for the next bite! A real delicacy!
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*

* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
Its leaves, roots, bark and/or fruits are used in traditional medicine.
Its fruits, seeds and/or leaves are used as food in the farmers' families or are sold on local markets.
Its leaves and/or its fruits contain useful substances that can be used against plant diseases or as natural pesticides.
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.
