Tracking what happens to trees after they get planted is kind of difficult. So  many things can  happen, drought,  goats, machetes. We estimate our survival rate is probably somewhere between 50  to 75  percent,  but once I tree is in the field it is pretty much  on it's  own. So it was encouraging today to return to a farm where 5 years ago, some visitors, including the director of our organization, and myself had planted seeds  in a tree nursery, which this farmer in Tanzania (in yellow) then went on to transplant on his farm and are shown below.
