The important moments in your tree's life.
The passion fruit comes from South America and is appreciated for the soft pulp of its fruit. Today it’s cultivated in diverse tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. The fruit is a type of berry, varies in color from purple to yellow, and contains numerous seeds immersed in a gelatinous yellow mass. It’s planted especially for the delicious, tropical juice that it yields.
Passion fruit has an acidic taste that gives a feeling of freshness when eaten. Not only that, but as the fruit is also rich in potassium, it is recommended that you eat it during the warmer months for rehydration. In other words, it is a fruit that provides relief on all levels!

* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
Raw materials are extracted from its flowers, fruits and/or leaves to produce creams or powders.
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.
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.
