Is this a real tree that's actually planted?
Yes. Your tree is a real native sapling planted in a biodiversity-focused region across India. It's GPS-tagged for tracking, receives 3 years of professional care, and you get coordinates so you can follow its exact location and growth journey.
How do I send this as a gift to new parents?
We'll send an e-gift card with a personalised message to the parents, along with the tree's GPS coordinates, certificate, and portal access. They can then follow the tree's growth milestone alongside their child's.
Can I choose which tree species will be planted?
Our expert team selects the species based on the regional project's biodiversity goals and native habitat requirements. This ensures your tree thrives locally and contributes meaningfully to the local ecosystem.
What updates will I receive?
You receive a digital tree birth certificate, GPS location coordinates, and portal access to track growth over the 3-year care period. Project milestone updates and environmental impact details are shared regularly.
Do I need to do anything to care for the tree?
No. All planting, maintenance, and monitoring is handled by our local teams during the 3-year care period. You simply track its growth from anywhere using your digital portal.
Is there a printed or digital certificate?
Yes. You receive a digital tree birth certificate with the species, plantation date, GPS coordinates, and location details. It's shareable, printable, and can be displayed or framed by the parents.
How does tree planting help the environment?
Native trees increase green cover, support local biodiversity, reduce man-animal conflict in agricultural regions, improve wildlife habitats, and create long-term ecological benefits. Each tree is a lasting legacy for the child and the planet.
Can I plant multiple trees for a group gift?
Yes. You can purchase multiple trees for a collective baby shower gift, multiplying the environmental impact. Contact our team for group gifting options and coordination.
When will my tree be planted?
Trees are planted according to seasonal and regional project schedules. Once your order is processed, you'll receive confirmation with planting dates, location, and GPS coordinates.
What happens after the 3-year care period?
After 3 years, the tree is established and can sustain itself. You retain tracking access and can continue following your tree's growth as a living legacy connected to the child's milestones.
Can the baby's name be on the certificate?
Yes. The digital certificate and gift card are customised with the baby's name, birth date, and a personalised message from you—making it a truly bespoke gift.
Is this a verified tree-planting programme?
Yes. Grow Billion Trees plants real trees with professional care and verification. Every tree is GPS-tagged, tracked, and linked to transparent project details and environmental impact documentation.
