Unique Retirement Investment That Keeps Growing

Whether planning ahead for your college savings plan, for your retirement investment, or as an investment held in your IRA, having tropical hardwood trees grown for you, for harvest, for profit, may be a perfect solution.

Bloomberg Wealth Manager says that investing in trees grown for harvest is “. . . a source of almost assured growth in tumultuous times” and Smart Money Magazine writes that “. . . timber is a near perfect asset” and that ” . . . real prices for timber have steadily risen for more than 100 years . . ..”

Tropical hardwood trees offer the wonderful benefit of a high yield without the uncertainties of today’s markets, and at the same time, by having us grow these beautiful trees for you, you will be doing something beneficial for the world.

Tropical American Tree Farms (TATF) is planting and growing some of the finest species of tropical hardwoods in the world on tree farms in Costa Rica. TATF grows trees by contract for thousands of enthusiastic tree owners - individuals, IRA’s, companies, and trusts.

Over the last 17 years TATF has planted and is now growing more than 2 million tropical hardwood trees on our more than 14,000 acres of tree farms. Each year, TATF produces millions of board feet of tropical hardwoods not being taken from the natural rainforest.

TATF will plant and grow for you, your children or grandchildren, your IRA, your company, church or school, trust or foundation, or anyone you wish - beautiful hardwoods like Teak, Cocobolo, Cuban Mahogany and other precious hardwoods.

You can simply choose which species of precious tropical hardwoods you would like to own and TATF does all the rest. TATF will plant, care for, and harvest your trees on tree farms in Costa Rica for up to 25 years. At harvest times, TATF will mill your logs into marketable lumber, sell your hardwoods for you and send you the proceeds as you direct. Or if you prefer, you are welcome to sell the lumber yourself. We will ship it as you instruct.

In addition to the lumber and profits from your trees, as a tree owner you and your family are invited to visit your trees any time you wish and to enjoy the wonderful tropical beauty of the tree farms, located in one of the most lush areas of Costa Rica, just a few miles inland from the central Pacific Coast.

Widely respected independent professionals affirm the wisdom of investing in growing trees for harvest. The Economist says for example that “. . . modern investors are putting money into trees to reap benefits in the nearer term” and Smart Money Magazine writes that growing trees for harvest for their lumber is “a near perfect asset.” Bloomberg Wealth Manager says that “. . . as an asset class, timber - a renewable resource with constant product demand - stands out as a remarkably stable investment.”

Whether as part of planning for a future college education, for your retirement, or an asset for your IRA or a cherished gift that will be long remembered, you can take advantage of this unique investment opportunity.
