The tree is used for erosion control, soil stabilization and reforestation in arid areas once it’s able to grow in very harsh conditions. It’s also used as a hedge and as an attractive ornamental with unusual foliage and vivid flowers.
Parkinsonia aculeata is a small and spiny evergreen tree with an open and spreading crown; it can grow from 4 to 10 meters tall with a short and often crooked trunk that can reach up to 40 cm in diameter, often branching near the ground. It's a plant of the semi-arid tropics and subtropics with a great temperature range, the tree is fast-growing but short-lived and it’s native to South, Central and North America. The tree is occasionally harvested for local use as food. The seeds can be eaten raw or cooked and are rich in protein. The fruit can be eaten raw, it has a sweet pulp, up to 60% sugar. The leaf, fruit and stem decoctions are taken orally to treat fever in traditional medicine.

Put on your rubber boots, grab the shovel and let’s start planting some trees. You are about to enter the marvelous journey of tree planting across the world. You still have much to learn, but big things often have small beginnings...
You are on a good track, at least you know what a shovel is for and you can water the tree seedlings. Nevertheless, you still have a long way before earning a degree.
Great Job! you know how to handle all the planting tools, and sometimes you spend long working days under the rain. You can now tell when the weather will change just by looking at how the wind waves the leaves of your trees. If you keep it up you will become an expert.
You are an advanced planter. You recognise the species you are planting just by looking at the seed, you know the planting seasons of each country, and you could even teach environmental classes. Get excited you’re close to the top.
Now we can address you as a professional planter! You have come far and your skills are outstanding. You can walk between trees to pick up leaves, seeds, and roots, to create your own medicine. Your hands are responsible for hundreds of healthy trees in the forest. Congratulations!
You are Mother Earth’s noteworthy partner and a role model. Flowers sprout from the footprints you leave behind on the forest trail. Bravo! You have reached the highest peak and from above you can imagine a forest extending as far as the horizon!
Dear undefined,
We are excited to inform you that as of today, 03/06/2024, Tree-Nation will be shifting the majority of our operations to our Spanish company, Neovee Solutions. The Neovee entity is where Tree-Nation was originally founded and operated for thirteen years, and we return to it after a period working fully as a non-profit organization. From now on, Neovee Solutions will manage the Tree-Nation platform, while our non-profit arm will focus on the research and development of micro-conservation projects.
As a result of this transition, Neovee Solutions will become the new controller of your personal data, handling its storage and processing.
