The important moments in your tree's life.
The European plum (or prune) is a famous member of the Rosaceae family for its fruit. Its origins are uncertain, most likely from southeast Asia. We do know that the plum was introduced to Europe more than 2,000 years ago. It’s planted to produce jams, juices, or to be sold fresh at local markets.
The fruits of the Plum are absolutely delicious: in the famous Trimalchio’s dinner described by the Latin author Petronius in his celebrated work the Satyricon, plums are numbered among the delicacies at the banquet. Plums are exceptionally generous trees that produce a multitude of fruit, making them a luxury within everyone’s reach. A tree that’s highly ... democratic!
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.
Raw materials are extracted from its flowers, fruits and/or leaves to produce creams or powders.
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.
