Hi jp, Right now you can only choose the country. We are considering allowing people to choose the type of tree, but the accounting and monitoring gets very complex. The tree planting programs like to keep it simple and focused. Sometimes the needs of the end sites change and we wouldn't want our tree species allocation to throw off their need for adapt to changes in local needs. We are considering a few specific species options for special occasions, but that would be a limited offer that we would base on a conservative estimate of the projected plantings for those species. Thanks, Hans

You can also plant a tree for free via these two promotions: http://bit.ly/15A4rn (for parents) http://www.kajeet.com/reuse (for parents getting new cell phone) We have noticed that parenting related companies associate with the positive investment in the future that trees represent.

Alessandra, Feel free to sign up and use our inspiration spreading tools. When you use those tools, you can see who you have inspired to plant a tree and how many they have planted. You also get to plant trees for free when you inspire friends to plant trees. http://www.mokugift.com/static/inspire

Hi Joan, you aren't spending the $1 on a virtual gift. That $1 is for the real tree. The virtual gift is just a representation of the real tree.

Yes, we have a facebook app, but the app is under construction because facebook has changed their platform and it is hard for us to keep up. The trees on the facebook app are $1/tree also. http://apps.facebook.com/mokugift/

One of our challenges is competing with frivolous, meaningless gifts on facebook. There are some free applications on facebook that claim to be envionmental, but do not create a net benefit to our planet. Daily Grommet's audience understands that we are empowering people to easily do something meaningful for less than the price of a Starbucks coffee. Some people can't afford a cup of coffee and we understand that. So we made it easy for them to plant a tree for free when they inspire their friends to plant a tree: http://www.mokugift.com/islands/inspire_tools/arealtree If $1 is too expensive to plant a real tree, then you can find 5 minutes to inspire a few friends.

Hi Kim, On the plant tree form there is a link in grey that says "send trees to more than one recipients". It is right under where the recipient email goes. That takes you to a page to send to 5 people. If you are going to do a bulk send of more than 5, then there is a link on that page to "send trees to more than 5 recipients". I hope that helps.
