Curiosity about me

The important moments in your tree's life.

Let's start with introductions

The Sorbo of the Bird-catcher is a tree that loves the mountains and lives at altitudes ranging from 500 up to 2,000 meters. It often lives in mixed woods, in the company of beeches, firs and ash trees, taking up residence in the outermost areas, so as to enjoy direct exposure to sunlight.

Meaning

Magic

According to ancient legends, Sorbo's wood would be carved into a magic wand, called the witch's hand, which rhabdomancers used to find hidden treasures or precious metals.

How much CO2 I’ll absorb

My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*

Current absorption

- 25 kg

2019

0 kg

2029

-50 kg

* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
