Curiosity about me

The important moments in your tree's life.

Let's start with introductions

Typical of the Mediterranean region, the Aleppo pine is usually found near the coast, although its habitat has gradually expanded and the trees can now be found at over 600 metres above sea level. Reaching up to 15 metres in height, the trees are distinctive for their fine, green-grey needles that can measure 10 cm in length and grow in pairs around the buds. Its small, reddish-brown cones are similar to those of other Scots pines. With its highly characteristic scent, its resin has been widely used since antiquity.

Meaning

Unmistakable

Did you ever taste Retsina wine? This is a Greek wine to which resin is added... the resin of the Aleppo pine. Which is what gives it the unmistakable bitter taste.

How much CO2 I’ll absorb

My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*

Current absorption

- 20 kg

2022

2032

-200 kg

* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
