Adopt an orange tree

By adopting an orange tree you help to fight poverty in the area. The farmers make sure that your tree is planted at the right place. They care for the plants by weeding and (if necessary) apply insecticides. The seedlings are manured from time to time and when they grow, they are pruned with care.
The trees begin bearing fruit after four years. The oranges are sold on the market or sold to the citrus factory. In this way the farmers have work and income for a long time.
You can follow how your plant is growing through this site.
A tree can be adopted for € 30 and one more trees can be adopted. Paying 20 euros at a time means the adopted orange tree can be taking care of for five years.
The orange trees on the farm have been tied with BigStep labels. The labels are numbered and these numbers correspond with the numbers on the certificates issued for the orange trees which have been adopted. In this way, one can easily find their 'own trees.'
In our webshop you can order one or more orange trees.
It is quite interesting to adopt an orange tree as a present. The name of the beneficiary will appear on the certificate. (you can state the name in the comment box of the order sheet.)
