Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
An Albizia is an impressive sight. These trees can reach a height of up to 35 metres, with the trunk being completely free of branches for around 20 metres. Only far above do you then get the wide and expansive, dome-shaped crown of the tree. The Albizia is widespread from the Ivory Coast to southern Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya. It is valued here not only for its wood, but also as a medicine.
Meaning
Sleep
Albizias fold up their small compound leaves towards the central petiole at night.
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.
My benefits
20%
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.
40%
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.
