Sustainable Cultivation Practices

We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of quality, ensuring that every batch of root bark we sell is sustainably harvested and climate-positive. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our meticulous harvesting practices:

Selective Harvesting: We only harvest roots from trees that are 40 to 90 years old or older, ensuring that the trees are mature and able to withstand the process.
Non-Damaging Techniques: The roots are harvested without damaging the trees. After harvesting, we allow the trees to recover for 2 months. During this time, new tender roots begin to grow, and within 8 months, the trees are ready for another harvest.
Reforestation Efforts: We maintain reforestation plantations of small trees and have parent trees that are responsible for spreading seeds within a 100-square-meter radius. This practice ensures continuous regeneration and preservation of the Mimosa Hostilis population.
