Picos Gemeos

There's a service provided to each town in Brasil, where tree saplings are available for free for anyone interested. Tree saplings are always native trees from that particular region.

We have planted over 10 trees in the past few weeks. Two araucarias – an ancient species that will grow to be tall and beautiful in about 15 years; a couple of fruit trees (cereja do sul and uvaias); and some ipês (trees known for blooming beautiful, colourful flowers at certain times of the year.) Also some palm trees around our swimming pool.

These saplings are grateful for the daily summer rain.
