A UK Fruit Tree

One bucket means a villager can move soil, compost, water and sand, meaning they can look after their trees and land more easily.

A watering can is essential nursery equipment, enabling villagers to care for tree seedlings until they are ready for planting out.

The Baobab is an iconic tree in Africa. It grows to an immense size and is culturally very important. The leaves make a vitamin rich sauce, and the seeds make protein rich flour, adding valuable nutrients to diets.

Shea butter, West Africa's 'gold', is made by roasting and pounding the nuts of the Shea tree into a paste. It is used for cooking, lighting, waterproofing walls, and as a quality moisturiser in cosmetics and soap.

The Mango tree provides one of Africa's best known and most delicious fruits. Mangoes are packed with vitamins, and can be dried to provide a vital out-of-season food source and product for sale at market.

Grafted trees reach maturity sooner and give more fruit that growing from seed. 10 grafted mango trees provide delicious fruit that can last all year round when dried.

Teach a villager to graft fruit trees and they can produce valuable trees for themselves and for sale.

Provide training so a villager can learn how to germinate seeds, manage a nursery, and care for and protect trees.

This is an actual gift of a Egremont Russet Dessert Apple Tree.  By purchasing this tree you will also be helping our work in Africa.  This is a good quality mid season russet variety grown in England. A very good garden variety but the fruits are prone to bitter pit. Feed with calcium in spring and through out the growing season. Fruit size is medium with a crisp, nutty flavour. Compact growth habit. The blossom has good frost tolerance. Picking time late September. Pollination group 2. 

Wheel barrows are the ultimate in versatile transport - ideal for use in tree nurseries, out in the fields, and for transporting seedlings and equipment in between.

Workshops bring 20 villagers together to learn tree and land management techniques that they put into practice in their fields and share with their communities.

The whole kit - 6 buckets, 2 wheelbarrows, a spade, pruning knives, trowels, forks and more. All a community needs to set up its own nursery to raise the trees they need to secure their future and earn income.

Help provide a community with a reliable and quality source of water so that they can raise tree seedlings and ensure their survival until they are established. Provide a capped well with a pump mechanism.
