Its special features are the characteristic trunk with brown vascular bundles and feathered leaves typical of palm trees. It is branchless up to the crown. Of course, it is known around the world for its fruit, which offers countless different benefits: Coconut. It is grown in many countries for this very purpose.

Coconut is an important economic factor in many countries. No wonder: numerous products are made with it: Coconut milk, oil, fat and many others.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 0 kg
2024
0 kg
2034
-10 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
