Kisiki Hai/FMNR is faster in terms of tree growth, (even in semi-arid areas, trees could reach 1-2 meters in year one, and 3 meters+ by year two). This is because most FMNR trees are growing from mature living tree stumps with well established root systems, which can access soil moisture and nutrients, which can draw on stored energy reserves.

Below is a before and after photo and footage from a timelapse camera from one of our re-greening sites.
