The important moments in your tree's life.
The scientific name of this tree is Jacaranda mimosifolia. It’s known by numerous common names, including Blue Jacaranda and Nupur. For the sake of convenience, we’ll simply call it Jacaranda. It’s a tree that can grow up to 20 metres in height and is at home in many tropical regions. Native to South America, it’s now found in many parts of the world. It’s often used as an ornamental tree. Its beautiful, striking flowers produce small, reddish-brown capsule-shaped fruit. As part of an agroforestry project, Jacaranda provides shade and is often planted as a windbreak.
With its bold pink flowers, Jacaranda is a real beauty! It’s guaranteed to grab your attention!
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.
It protects young plants from the wind and reduces water evaporation from the soil.
Its leaves, roots, bark and/or fruits are used in traditional medicine.
It provides protection for crops and shade 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.
