The important moments in your tree's life.
The macadamia is an evergreen member of the Proteaceae family. It can grow up to 40 meters tall, has elliptical leaves, and grows white-pink flowers in bunches. Originally from Australia, the macadamia tree is planted for its oil-producing seeds and the macadamia nut that’s famous for being full of nutrients and minerals.
Its sweet elixir fosters longevity and beneficial effects.

* 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.
