Zimbabwe Reforestation Initiative

Grafting orange trees offers several advantages: it ensures uniform fruit quality, accelerates maturity, and enhances disease resistance. It allows combining desirable traits from rootstock and scion, improves yield, and adapts trees to diverse soils. Additionally, grafting preserves

We continue to use top quality tree seedlings for high survival rates.

During the Kubiqi International Desert Forum (China), we had a chance to share our reforestation experience in Zimbabwe.

We had a chance to discuss conservation and how we can scale the fight against desertification during UNCCD CRIC23 in Panama.

Clean potting soil is vital for healthy plant growth. It prevents pests, diseases, and weed contamination, ensuring strong root development and nutrient absorption. Sterile soil promotes better drainage and aeration, reducing the risk of root rot. Using clean soil supports vigorous

Grafting fruit trees enhances disease resistance, improves fruit quality, and accelerates maturity. It allows combining desirable traits from different plants, ensuring consistent yields. Grafted trees often bear fruit sooner than seedlings and adapt better to local conditions. This

The leaf shows a severe mealybug infestation, marked by white cotton-like clusters and black sooty mold. These pests drain plant sap, weakening growth and inviting fungal infections. To treat, remove affected leaves, apply neem oil and improve air circulation to restore plant health

A young student inspects a tree sapling with for any pests or diseases. Every tree planted restores ecosystems and empowers local stewards. Together, we’re growing hope—one seedling at a time.

We continue to undertake trainings to equip communities with tree management skills that are vital for the success of planted trees.

Good tree nursery management keeps pests and diseases away maximizing in-field productivity.

To ensure high success rate on planting, our trees take longer time on nursery. This gives them high resistance to climate vulnerabilities including drought.

People as far a Somalia are excited to learn about the Zimbabwe Reforestation Initiative. We believe our indigenous knowledge inspire similar initiatives beyond the boarders.

Whenever we get the chance we educate people on the Zimbabwe Reforestation Initiative. They learn about tree adaptation, tree based products and how they can be part of a supportive community.

The advantage of planting grafted trees as part of our initiative is to timely and immediately provide fruits to the community in less than two years. At this stage, our citrus trees already shows signs of fruiting at nursery level as their season has arrived.
