At
Tropical American Tree Farms, we are planting and growing
many of the finest species of exotic tropical hardwoods in the world - hundreds of thousands of tropical hardwood trees for harvest, for
profit, both for our own account and by contract for thousands of individuals, IRA's, companies,
and trusts.
Whether
as an investment, for your retirement
or for future college costs, transferring wealth to your children or
grandchildren, or producing your own tropical hardwoods for your
woodworking or business, we would love
to grow precious tropical hardwood trees for you!
The tropical hardwoods we are growing
on our tree farms are being crafted into some of the finest furnishings and architectural
applications in the world.

And
at the same time, by producing tropical hardwoods that are not being
taken from the natural forest, we are helping to reduce the pressure on the world's
declining natural rainforests.
We are also carefully protecting nearly 7,000 acres
of tropical rainforest on our farms.
We
would love to have you join us in this unique and rewarding opportunity!
Overview
Since 1991, we have planted
more than 2 million trees of more than fifty different
species of beautiful tropical hardwoods, focusing principally on
increasingly scarce high value, fast growing species. Young teak trees for example
can reach 70 feet tall in just 7 years.
The species we are growing
are highly prized for their beauty and sought after for
the very finest furniture, cabinetry, exquisite inlay work,
architectural accents, musical instruments, and other uniquely beautiful furnishings.
We will plant
and grow for you, your IRA, trust or foundation, your children or grandchildren, your church
or school, or anyone you wish, the same precious species of tropical
hardwoods that we are growing for our own account.
You can choose
which of our species of precious tropical
hardwoods you would like to own, and we do all the rest. We will
select, plant, care for and harvest your trees on our tropical hardwood
tree farms in Costa Rica for up to 25 years, exactly as we do our own
trees, in the same professional manner and with the same experienced
personnel.
Our tropical hardwoods are truly beautiful
At each thinning and harvest,
you may choose to keep the beautiful hardwood lumber from your trees
for your own use, or sell it yourself. Or if you prefer, we will sell
your hardwoods for you and send you the proceeds.
Your trees, and the tropical
hardwoods they produce are yours to enjoy!

"Thank you so much for our several
distribution checks. They have allowed us to do things we
otherwise could never have done. We are so thankful that you
shared this wonderful opportunity with us. . . We only wish we
had bought more trees when we first learned about you."
