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 can reach 30 meters in height; the branches are distributed irregularly on the tree. The blossoms are comparable to cascades of small, fragrant white flowers. The Acacia Mangium flourishes more or less all year round and the fruits are ready 6-7 months after pollination.
Its multiple uses make it an immensely valuable tree!

* 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.
Its fruits, seeds and/or leaves are used as food in the farmers' families or are sold on local markets.
Its leaves, roots, bark and/or fruits are used in traditional medicine.
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.
