Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The hazelnut is a small tree that is widespread throughout Europe and Asia and can grow up to 4-5 metres in height. Typically cultivated for its fruit, it has been well known since ancient times. The fruits have a woody shell ('pericarp') containing a creamy-white 'almond' (seed). As well as by humans, they are also highly appreciated by wild animals, feeding mice, dormice, squirrels, pigeons, jays and pheasants during the winter.
Meaning
Power
Nuts are great energy providers, especially for athletes. They regulate blood lipids and thus strengthen the heart and circulation.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 5 kg
2023
0 kg
2033
-50 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
