THE PROJECT

Trees planted / animals fostered by WILDLIFE FRUITS

In this gallery, you will find the trees we plant and are available for adoption. Find out which animals are attracted to their leaves, flowers, or fruits.

This part of our website is currently a “work in progress” and may never be completely finished…

  • Aceiteuno

    Aceiteuno is a fast‑growing tropical tree whose oily fruits, cooling canopy, and insect‑rich bark support a wide range of wildlife. Birds, bats, mammals, amphibians, and countless insects rely on this species, making it a cornerstone of healthy and regenerating forests in Costa Rica.

  • Avocado

    The avocado tree is a life‑giving giant of the tropical forest, offering millions of blossoms for pollinators and nutrient‑rich fruits that sustain wildlife from squirrels to anteaters.

  • Banana

    Wild banana palms grow rapidly, provide shade for young trees, and offer fruits valued by mammals, birds, and insects. Their short life cycle and nutrient‑rich stems make them perfect companions in reforestation, enriching the soil and supporting wildlife from the very first years.

  • Beach Almond

    The Beach Almond is a fast-growing tropical tree that produces colorful, fleshy fruits loved by parrots, monkeys, and other wildlife. With its towering crown and seasonal abundance, it plays a vital role in feeding animals and shaping forest structure in coastal and lowland ecosystems.

  • Caimito

    Caimito, the tropical “Star Apple,” produces sweet, aromatic fruits loved by birds, bats, monkeys, and many other forest animals. Its dense evergreen canopy offers shade and shelter, while its nectar‑rich flowers support pollinators. As a fruiting tree of high ecological value, Caimito strengthens wildlife networks and enriches regenerating forests.

  • Caoba

    Caoba, the majestic mahogany tree, is one of the great giants of the tropical forest. Its towering crown, sturdy branches, and rough bark provide nesting sites, shelter, and food resources for a wide variety of wildlife — from parrots and raptors to insects, lizards, and amphibians.

    Indigenous tree in the tropical dry forest.

  • Cashew

    Bears both apples and nuts.

  • Cenizaro
