The important moments in your tree's life.
According to genetic studies, the Lemon was probably an ancient hybrid between the grapefruit and citron. This citrus tree produces beautiful white and violet petals, and highly perfumed fruit. The local population benefits from its precious edible fruit and healing properties.
What's good isn't always sweet: the lemon for example is loved for the tingling sensations provoked by its acidity.
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.
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.
