The important moments in your tree's life.
It all starts with a tiny seed, nice and warm in the soil.
Your seedling is big enough to be welcomed into one of our nurseries, along with many others.
We’re here! Your tree has reached its new home: it’s been planted by a smallholder, who’ll take care of it for years to come.
Strike a pose! Now that it’s big enough, here’s a photo of your tree!
The important moments in your tree's life.
To tell the truth, the Sesbania is not a particularly large tree. At first glance, some might underestimate it, but they’d be impressed to discover how many useful things this tree – which may not be very big, but is definitely surprising – can do! And after all, as the Greek philosopher Sophocles said, “the greatest joy is the unexpected”.
Even though it's a rather small tree, it has many uses and a thousand ways to be helpful. Besides, as the saying goes, "the best things, come in small packages".
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.
It improves the quality of the soil thanks to the nitrogen fixation process or it reduces soil erosion, thanks to its extended root system.
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.
