A friendly guide to owning real tropical hardwood trees — what you get, how care works, and how to follow along as they grow.
We're a forest development company that makes premium tropical hardwood ownership accessible to individuals. We sell GPS-mapped trees at Las Azucenas in Guatemala — species like Mahogany, Cedar, and Ziricote. Las Azucenas provides management under a direct agreement with you after purchase.
You own specific, GPS-mapped trees growing at Las Azucenas with full control over your timber. Each tree is a tangible, physical object that you can track, manage, and harvest when ready.
Where your trees take root — professionally managed and easy to follow
A professionally managed forest in Guatemala with seasoned on-the-ground expertise.
We care for over 16,000 trees, creating jobs for the local community while restoring sustainable tropical hardwood forestry.
Las Azucenas provides day-to-day care and protection under your management agreement — independent of Forests to Fortune after closing.
After purchasing trees, you'll have access to Canopy Marketplace — a title registry and monitoring platform where you can track your trees, view GPS locations, view independently verified measurement data, and manage your trees.
Now that you understand what tree ownership offers, learn how the process works step-by-step.
See How It WorksCatalog prices reflect species, age, and development stage at the time of purchase — similar to a nursery pricing a more developed specimen higher than a seedling. Market conditions at harvest or transfer may differ; no financial returns are guaranteed. These are current wholesale market reference prices for FAS-grade tropical hardwood timber as observed in December 2024, verified with independent experts. They are not projections, guarantees, or promises of future value. Timber market prices are subject to fluctuation. Past market conditions do not guarantee future pricing.
Tree care is included through our management services. Every tree includes a base warranty covering healthy growth for biological factors, with reasonable exclusions. Optional protection plans may be available.
What buyers value about owning individual trees with professional care
Our trees are registered with the Guatemalan Government and approved for commercial harvest. No unethical sourcing concerns.
Caring for 16,000 trees creates jobs for the local community. Your purchase supports sustainable development.
FAS-grade mahogany, cedar, and ziricote command premium wholesale prices in global markets. Prices fluctuate with supply, demand, and grade — past prices do not predict future harvest proceeds.
Manage your trees through our technology partner Canopy Marketplace, where you can list trees for resale if you choose.
Las Azucenas monitors, maintains, and protects your trees year-round under your management agreement with the forest operator.
Complete ownership records, growth tracking, and harvest permits. Full transparency in every aspect of your purchase.
When trees reach maturity (about 18 years), you authorize harvest in writing. Las Azucenas manages field logistics under your direction. If you'd like help finding buyers, Forests to Fortune may assist; proceeds flow through independent escrow directly to you.
We partner with Canopy Marketplace to provide you with the same professional tools we use to track our own trees. This gives you complete transparency and control over your tree ownership.

Your trees actively capture and store CO2 as they grow, contributing to climate change mitigation.
Ownership supports reforestation, biodiversity conservation, and long-term forest ecosystem health.
We practice responsible forest management that balances timber production with environmental protection.
Trees are living things and markets can change. We work to provide professional care, transparent updates, and clear expectations. Each tree includes warranty coverage - contact us for details.
Weather, pests, and other natural events can affect growth.
Timber prices and demand change over time; visuals are informational only.

Forests to Fortune's role ends at closing. Las Azucenas manages your trees under a direct agreement with you from that point forward. The management services are arranged as part of your purchase price. Las Azucenas is an independent agroforestry company — not part of Forests to Fortune.
