Corporate Social Responsibility

Trees play an important role in protecting the environment. Trees are responsible for providing the oxygen we breathe and removing the carbon dioxide, causing global warming which involves the dreaded greenhouse effect.

Trees are part of a global ecosystem in which many organisms live. Trees provide shade suitable for other plants or animals.

Many living organisms live on their fruit, their branches, their bark, leaves or sap, others build their nests, being protected from their enemies, watch their prey from their watchtowers or pierce the tissues in search of shelter or food.

If we plant trees we will contribute to preserve the environment or to repay damage. Trees with their growth processes, reproduction and decomposition contribute to ensure biodiversity.

• Oldest

  Found in the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in California, the oldest tree recognized is a Redwood known as Eternal God. The tree is believed to be 12,000 years old, although it is argued as being only 7,000 years old, which still makes it the oldest.

• Slowest

  A White Cedar located in the Great Lakes area of Canada, has only grown to less than 4 inches tall during its 155 years.

• Tallest

  In 1872, an Australian Eucalyptus at Watts River, Victoria in Australia was said to measure to 435 feet, but it is speculated that it probably measured to over 500 feet at some point in its life. The tallest living tree is a Coast Redwood known as the "Mendocino Tree" found in Montgomery State Reserve in California. This tree, which is over 1000 years old, is more than 367 feet and 6 inches tall and still growing.

• Most Massive

  The "Lindsey Creek Tree", a Coast Redwood with a minimum trunk volume of 90,000 cubic feet and a minimum total mass of 3630 tons was the most massive known tree until it blew over in a storm in 1905. The most massive living tree is "General Sherman", a giant sequoia found in the Sequoia National Park in California. It is 275 feet tall with a girth of 102 feet and 8 inches.

• Deepest Roots

  A Wild Fig tree at Echo Caves, near Ohrigstad, Mpumalanga, South Africa has roots reaching 400 feet making it the deepest a trees roots have penetrated.

• Fastest Growing

  In 1974, it was noted that an Albizzia falcata in Sabah, Malaysia had grown 35 feet and 3 inches in 13 months: an approximate of 1.1 inches per day.

• Greatest Girth

  In the late 18th century a European Chestnut known as the Tree of the Hundred Horses on Mount Etna in Sicily, in Italy had a circumference of 190 feet. It has since separated into three parts.

• Most Dangerous

  The Manchineel Tree of the Caribbean coast and the Florida Everglades is a species that secretes an exceptionally poisonous and acid sap. Upon contact to the skin, a break out of blisters would occur. In the occasions where there is contact to the eye, a person can be blinded, and a bite of its fruit causes blistering and severe pain. This tree has been feared ever since the Spanish explorers came to the Americas in the 16th century.
