Every year, World Tree brings in a new group of investors to fund the planting of Empress Splendor trees on land owned by farmers throughout SE U.S., Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica.
It is a cooperative business model in which World Tree gives its exclusive Empress Splendor tree gene stock to qualifying landowners at no cost. In return, the farmers provide the land, labor and maintenance to plant and grow the trees to maturity. World Tree also provides expert support to the tree farmers throughout the growing process, and takes care of the harvesting and marketing of the lumber.
Investors share in any profits on harvest along with the farmers and the company. Every $19,000 invested funds the potential planting of over 550 trees on 5 acres.

Weather, farm failure, crop damage are all risks that could impact investment returns. To protect against these issues, World Tree plants across many different farm locations spread across four countries: United States, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Mexico.
Investors participate in any profits generated across all tree planting locations.
World Tree selects Eco-Tree farmers using a rigorous screening process. Farmers must complete a series of online program training materials, and farm locations are assessed on the basis of temperature, rainfall, elevation and topography with a full walk through and soil testing performed. Farmers must demonstrate that their land is fully prepared for planting prior to any trees being sent.
Once the trees are planted they are monitored by World Tree’s Forestry team. We have on the ground teams in each region, who visit the growers regularly to evaluate tree performance and make course corrections as necessary.
Investing in the Company’s Units is highly speculative and involves multiple risks both known and unknown and investors may lose some or all of their investment. Before investing in the Series A Eco-Tree 2022 Units, investors should carefully read the PPM including the section titled “Risk Factors” which contains a discussion of some but not all risks related to an investment in the Company’s Units.
