Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The African Mahogany or Cailcedrat grows in fluvial forests along waterways that extend throughout the savanna. The sweet perfume of the tree’s white flowers are contrasted by its fruit, which varies from cement gray to intense black. It’s planted to provide forage for animals and to obtain healing substances from the bark.
Meaning
Determination
Thanks to its deep roots, the African Mahogany is one of the strongest and most drought-resistant trees of the Khaya species.
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
-1000 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
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.
Medicine
Its leaves, roots, bark and/or fruits are used in traditional medicine.
Livestock
Its leaves, either fresh or dried-out, are used as food for livestock.
My benefits

100%
CO₂ Absorption
During its life cycle, each tree will offset CO₂. The trees that you plant can offset your emissions.
60%
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.
