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.

Photo

Strike a pose! Now that it’s big enough, here’s a photo of your tree!

Looking for my photo? I am still growing in the nursery, as soon as I am planted you will get a selfie of me!

Curiosity about me

The important moments in your tree's life.

Let's start with introductions

The mountain Maple can reach 30 meters in height, developing a canopy with a diameter of over 10 meters. It grows rapidly and is rather long-lived, given that it has an average age of 150 years, although we know specimens that are over 300 years old. Typically it can be found at between 500 and 1,500 meters of altitude.

Meaning

Vigor

Even after a fall, its high pollen capacity, allows it to colonize the surrounding environment.

How much CO2 I’ll absorb

My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*

Current absorption

- 100 kg

2019

0 kg

2029

-200 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

Medicine

Medicine

Its leaves, roots, bark and/or fruits are used in traditional medicine.

Anti-wind

Anti-wind

It protects young plants from the wind and reduces water evaporation from the soil.

Soil

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.

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.

40%

CO₂ Absorption

During its life cycle, each tree will offset CO₂. The trees that you plant can offset your emissions.

60%

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.
