Italy is commonly described as a peninsula stretching in the Mediterranean Sea. Actually, in addition to the peninsula area, Italy includes a continental area as well as several islands: although it is a small country, Italy has an extremely varied landscape. The territory is mainly hilly, with mountains occupying more than 35% of the territory. Treedom works with various partners encouraging organic farming. The results of this projects include the creation of a sustainable production and trading chain that has a positive impact on society and on those same seized assets, which have become free croplands and are used to create high quality products using eco-friendly methods.

Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
Cassia is a medium-size, evergreen tree growing up to 18 m with a trunk up to 30 cm in diameter. The bark is gray or light brown, the leaves are green-reddish. It grows in a wide range of climatic conditions but is particularly suited to lowland tropics with a monsoon climate. Cassia Siamea it's a leguminus plant and like many leguminus it's having a bacterium on the roots, the Rhizobium leguminosarum, which is capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen, improving the fertility of the soil.
Meaning
Calm
The powerful anxiolytic in it can calm down also stronger stress.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 560 kg
2017
0 kg
2027
-700 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
My benefits
10%
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.
30%
Economic development
The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.
80%
CO₂ Absorption
During its life cycle, each tree will absorb CO₂. The trees you plant can offset your emissions.
100%
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.
