Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The Chestnut is a tree whose history is deeply intertwined with that of human beings. It is thought to have originated in the Caucasus and brought to Europe first by the Greeks and then by the Romans. Widespread and prized for its fruit –chestnuts – and its timber, it fell into decline from the 15th century onwards. But while it is no longer widely cultivated, its cultural importance to many European peoples remains absolutely fundamental.
Meaning
Friendship
In view of the long history of friendship between man and the chestnut tree, there are many specimens of this tree that are considered true monuments, not only of landscape but also of historical and cultural value.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 30 kg
2022
0 kg
2032
-150 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
