1. Deployable nursery
service to grow trees for
large scale international
projects
2. Growing methodologies
that greatly increase
growth rates and survival
rates of native trees and
shrubs.

HIGH PERFORMANCE TREES
3
Faster Growth Up to 3x faster
HPT vs. Traditional seedlings
Greater Survivability 95% vs.10%
Earlier Maturity 1.5x earlier
Faster Soil Restoration Due to
enhanced root mass
Greater Carbon Sequestration 2-4x more carbon sequestered
TGM RESULTS

In our planting on mine sites and reforestation sites, Tree Global
Mongolia has set new standards for planting success:
• Survival rates >90%
• Growth rates 2-4x faster

The success ratio of the Boroo Gold program using Tree
Global trees and Tree Global planting supervision was
over 90 percent. This is an exceptional survival ratio
for this type of planting, and a far better result than we
had anticipated.
…At the end of last year I asked Tree Global if they could
choose some species that might grow on barren rocky
slopes. If the success was even 5% total survival I
would be surprised. Survival rates of the trees that
were planted in both areas exceed 90%. The trees are
very healthy and are obviously capable of lasting through
this season and into succeeding seasons. I fully expect
that in a few years these previously barren areas will be
covered by desirable tree species that will continue to be
productive for many years after the mine is gone.
