Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The banana is a giant herbaceous plant of the Musaceae family that can grow up to 6-7 meters tall. Originally from Asia, it’s primarily cultivated in Central America, tropical Africa, and the Philippines. It bears fruit only in tropical climates and requires protection from the wind. Planted for alimentary use and for the commerce of its fruit.
Meaning
Fantasies
Considered a paradisiacal muse by the ancients, the banana has always been the most naughty of inspirations.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 0 kg
2024
0 kg
2034
-10 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
