My Timeline
The important moments in your tree's life.
Seed
It all starts with a tiny seed, nice and warm in the soil.
Nursery
Your seedling is big enough to be welcomed into one of our nurseries, along with many others.
Planted
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!

Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
Tall and majestic, the African Fern Pine is a conifer that can grow up to 60 meters high, although it averages around 45/50 meters. Its trunk can vary from 2 to 3 m wide, with shades of color ranging from gray-brown to reddish. The leaves curl like spirals on the branches. They are small and narrow, up to 10 cm long, green to yellowish in color and have a rather waxy texture.
Meaning
Lightness
The leaves, long and thin, grow thick giving the general appearance of feathers or ferns. The effect is that of a floating green cloud.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 120 kg
2020
0 kg
2030
-300 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
How I am useful to local communities
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.
Anti-wind
It protects young plants from the wind and reduces water evaporation from the soil.
Medicine
Its leaves, roots, bark and/or fruits are used in traditional medicine.
My benefits
20%
Food Security
The trees will bear fruits, some that will be edible immediately and others that can become edible through processing, ensuring food resources over time.
20%
Economic development
The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.
60%
CO₂ Absorption
During its life cycle, each tree will offset CO₂. The trees that you plant can offset your emissions.
90%
Environmental protection
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.
