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.
It's an evergreen tree that grows 30-40 meters high. Its trunk can reach a diameter of 120 cm and tends to have a perfectly cylindrical shape. It is considered a "vulnerable" species due to the high commercial value of its wood.
Caoba is often used as a frontline tree to repopulate deforested areas and provide shade to new trees.

* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
It helps restocking various animal species, thus helping the variety of fauna and flora overall.
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.
