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.
The Enterelobium cyclocarpum is a majestic tree that can grow up to 35 meters high and its shape is unmistakable. On a relatively low but very robust trunk (up to 3 meters in diameter), opens a very large crown with a hemispherical shape.
After its wide blossoming with flowers rich in color, it almost seems as though the tree falls asleep. Before it bears fruit, 9 months go by and after more than 10 months these begin to mature. It is an absolutely unique behavior, unknown in other species.

* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
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.
