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 Mango thrives in tropical and subtropical areas. Few people know that it can grow up to 45 meters in height and can produce great quantities of fruit: it can be eaten fresh or processed and used in many different recipes. Actually, that is the reason why it is planted: to provide fruit to the local population, who can eat it or trade it.
The mango is the fruit of sun and joy for its color, perfume, and taste.
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.
Raw materials are extracted from its flowers, fruits and/or leaves to produce creams or powders.
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.
