The important moments in your tree's life.
The Courbaril is a precious evergreen tree, with a beautiful umbrella-shaped foliage. It tolerates different atmospheric and soil conditions, resisting both drought and water stagnation.
It grows very slowly, yes, but it can reach a height of almost 30 meters.
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 fruits, seeds and/or leaves are used as food in the farmers' families or are sold on local markets.
Its leaves, either fresh or dried-out, are used as food 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.
