Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The narra tree, which is widespread in large parts of Southeast Asia, usually grows between 15 and 25 metres high. Where it grows, it enriches the soil with valuable nitrogen, making it more fertile. This makes it a popular tree in agroforestry systems. Narra trees are also medicinally important and edible.
Meaning
Radiant
In spring, thousands of small yellow flowers make the entire crown of the narra tree shine.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 180 kg
2022
0 kg
2032
-900 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
Its leaves, roots, bark and/or fruits are used in traditional medicine.
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.
Biodiversity
It helps restocking various animal species, thus helping the variety of fauna and flora overall.
My benefits
40%
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.
40%
Economic development
The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.
90%
CO₂ Absorption
During its life cycle, each tree will absorb CO₂. The trees you plant can offset your emissions.
70%
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.
