The Grevillea reaches up to 12-25 meters of height. It’s flowers are a splashy yellow and its rich nectar attracts bees, boosting the ecosystem and encouraging plant pollination. It’s used as a windbreaker plant and allows for the formation of humus, which maintains soil humidity and improves soil quality.

Often planted along streets, this tree is capable of bearing traffic even during rush hour.

Madagascar

A native of India and Burma, the Neem is an evergreen tree that can reach up to 30 metres in height. It is used as a shade tree, thanks to its thick foliage, and as a barrier to desertification, especially in the Saharan regions. But its peculiarity is above all that told by its name in Sanskrit: Sarva roda nidarini, the healer of all ills. There's an almost infinite amount of uses for every part of this tree, from the bark to the leaves.

The UN has defined Neem as the tree of the 21st century.

Caoba

It helps restocking various animal species, thus helping the variety of fauna and flora overall.

Biodiversity

Thailand

It's an evergreen tree that grows 30-40 meters high. Its trunk can reach a diameter of 120 cm and tends to have a perfectly cylindrical shape. It is considered a "vulnerable" species due to the high commercial value of its wood.

Caoba is often used as a frontline tree to repopulate deforested areas and provide shade to new trees.
