Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
Its scientific name is Annona Muricata, but its most common names, besides Graviola, are Guanabana, Corasol and Corossole. It’s a tropical tree which today is found from Australia to America, via Asia and Africa. It shuns low temperatures and can grow up to 10-12 metres in height, developing a not particularly voluminous crown. It is prized for its fruit, also called Graviola (or soursop), which despite being covered with spikes is very sweet and juicy.
Meaning
Delicacy
When it’s perfectly ripe, the pulp of the fruit from this tree has a flavour that balances acidity and sweetness, filling the palate but leaving the mouth ready for the next bite! A real delicacy!
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 15 kg
2023
0 kg
2033
-150 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
