Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The white carob is native to central Argentina and belongs to the Fabaceae family. Its name derives from the Spanish conquerors who mistakenly took this tree for the European algarrobo, which also produces edible pods. It's planted for its flat pods used to produce a flour to bake bread and sweets.

How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 500 kg
2012
0 kg
2022
-500 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
