The important moments in your tree's life.
Pavito is one of several names for Jacaranda copaia, a so-called pioneer tree belonging to the genus Jacaranda. It is native to northern and western parts of South America. Pioneer trees are hardy species that are the first to establish themselves in new, less fertile environments. It’s often used in agroforestry systems as a shading species.
Pavito leaves are traditionally used to treat the symptoms of diseases such as fever.
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 leaves, roots, bark and/or fruits are used in traditional medicine.
Its leaves and/or its fruits contain useful substances that can be used against plant diseases or as natural pesticides.
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.
