Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The apricot tree belongs to the Rosaceae family, which was diffused throughout Europe by the Arabs many centuries ago. The flowers sprout, as in the case of all Prunus plants, before the leaves. The tree produces stone fruits that are velvety and dark yellow or orange, and light red in the case of mature fruit. It is planted for its fruit to produce juices and jams.
Meaning
Mysterious
The origin of apricot is still unknown. However, the botanical name of the apricot is based on the hypothesis that the fruit is native to Armenia: prunus armeniaca.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 5 kg
2023
0 kg
2033
-50 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
