The idea
What you plant today is for the climate of 2070.
A tree planted this year will live most of its life after 2060, in a Europe preparing for +4 °C by 2100. Choosing a species for today's climate means betting on a climate that will be gone.
Colenda starts there: a diagnosis, not a catalogue.

What we built
What we built.
- An address is enough. Colenda crosses the place, the soil and the projected climate, then puts together a community: a small group of species that grow well together, from tree to ground cover.
- Only species from your region's wild flora. Invasive alien species are ruled out before any calculation, with no exception.
- Every species is tested against the climate projected for 2030, 2050 and 2100. The ones that fall behind leave the community.
- A five-year survival rate given as a range, and a confidence level for every figure. When we don't know, we say so.
- Named public sources for climate, soil, flora and regulations, and a method described step by step.
- Free, no account, no ads.
