The important moments in your tree's life.
A Central American species, the guava tree is often cultivated in tropical countries. It produces extremely juicy fruit and beautiful, large, perfumed flowers. Guava fruit is consumed both fresh and in the form of juices, nectars, and preserves. It thus provides great support to the rural economy of Kenya to ensure the dietary security of the local population.
The antioxidant power of guava makes it a bonafide beauty elixir.
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.
Its fruits, seeds and/or leaves are used as food in the farmers' families or are sold on local markets.
Raw materials are extracted from its flowers, fruits and/or leaves to produce creams or powders.
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.
