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.

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

- 0 kg

2014

0 kg

2024

-0 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

80%

CO₂ Absorption

During its life cycle, each tree will offset CO₂. The trees that 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.
