Description
Plant a real tree on your iPhone or iPod touch.
When you buy ‘A Real Tree’ app, a real tree gets planted. That’s why we called this app ‘A Real Tree’. A Real Tree trees are planted in twelve countries fighting deforestation: Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Burundi, Senegal, Zambia, India, Philippines, and Haiti.
These countries are in tropical regions where tree planting is the most beneficial to the fight against global warming.

Customer Reviews
Fun app, and does a bit of good
It's pretty cool that I can buy an app for $1, and they'll plant a tree in the real world. The animations in the app are pretty cute too. Seems like an easy way to do some good :)
Grow a forest...
This app doesn't do much on your phone but add a pretty tree. It's in the real world that this app earns its 5 stars. For one dollar, you can plant a tree on the MokuGift website. Or you can buy this app and get a phone tree in addition to planting a real tree. Hopefully users will be able to link their phone tree to their MokuGift tree-island in the future.
Super idea
This app is a great idea for a hugely important cause. Hopefully this thing will catch on.
