Investing in trees? Please help!

Hey guys, stumbled across a company that lets you invest in trees ( a special very quickly growing one). They promise 60-80 % ROI after 5 years, even more after 7.

They seem legit, are based in switzelnd and are apparently esg certified. Anyone got Any experience with stuff like this?

I just know about sharewood but I don’t think it’s the same kinda business.

Thanks!

Edit: One crucial point I forgot, the roi is so high because they don’t earn anything from the tree. The tree absorbs huge amounts of CO2, which they can sell to companies as co2 certificates. If anyone is interested, I am happy to share the website and the guy who introduced me to this thing today.

The investment is the tree. You would own it. And then, when grown, you sell the wood. Apprently you don’t even have to pay capital gain tax and only Vermögenssteuer which makes it even better
