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.
This tree reaches and exceeds 30 meters in height. The diameter of the trunk can reach 140 cm. The young branches are pubescent (meaning that they are covered by a light fluff), while the older branches don't have leaves, but can reach up to 20 meters in length with a diameter of 20 cm. It is splendid when it blooms and its crown is filled with clusters of flowers.
This species of Rosewood is endemic in the eastern part of Madagascar, but is considered at risk due to excessive logging. It is the only variety, among all 64 Rosewoods, that lives over 200 years.

* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
It helps restocking various animal species, thus helping the variety of fauna and flora overall.
Its leaves, either fresh or dried-out, are used as food for livestock.
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.
