The important moments in your tree's life.
The Avocado tree is known for its fruit, which contains a rich source of energy and nutrients. The extracted oil is used in the cosmetics field for its antioxidant and revitalizing properties. Avocado leaves have excellent anti-scarring properties as well. Avocado is planted for fruit cultivation and the shade that it provides for other crops.
The Avocado has always been considered a fruit of fertility and creativity.
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 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.
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.
