Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The African tulip tree can grow up to 35 meters tall and is recognizable for its large flowers that are red on the outside, orange on the inside, and distinct for their hermaphrodite nature. The fruit is cigar-shaped and dark brown when attached to the tree. The bark, flowers, and seeds are all used for medicinal purposes. It’s planted for reforestation as well as for its pesticide properties.

How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 600 kg
2014
0 kg
2024
-600 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
