Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The European plum (or prune) is a famous member of the Rosaceae family for its fruit. Its origins are uncertain, most likely from southeast Asia. We do know that the plum was introduced to Europe more than 2,000 years ago. It’s planted to produce jams, juices, or to be sold fresh at local markets.
Meaning
Democratic
The fruits of the Plum are absolutely delicious: in the famous Trimalchio’s dinner described by the Latin author Petronius in his celebrated work the Satyricon, plums are numbered among the delicacies at the banquet. Plums are exceptionally generous trees that produce a multitude of fruit, making them a luxury within everyone’s reach. A tree that’s highly ... democratic!
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 40 kg
2016
0 kg
2026
-50 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
