Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The Grevillea reaches up to 12-25 meters of height. It’s flowers are a splashy yellow and its rich nectar attracts bees, boosting the ecosystem and encouraging plant pollination. It’s used as a windbreaker plant and allows for the formation of humus, which maintains soil humidity and improves soil quality.
Meaning
Patience
Often planted along streets, this tree is capable of bearing traffic even during rush hour.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 320 kg
2019
0 kg
2029
-800 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
How I am useful to local communities
Soil
It improves the quality of the soil thanks to the nitrogen fixation process or it reduces soil erosion, thanks to its extended root system.
Anti-wind
It protects young plants from the wind and reduces water evaporation from the soil.
Livestock
Its leaves, either fresh or dried-out, are used as food for livestock.
My benefits
10%
Food Security
The trees will bear fruits, some that will be edible immediately and others that can become edible through processing, ensuring food resources over time.
10%
Economic development
The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.
80%
CO₂ Absorption
During its life cycle, each tree will offset CO₂. The trees that you plant can offset your emissions.
100%
Environmental protection
The trees are planted in agroforestry systems that favor the virtuous interaction between the different species and their positive impact on the environment and on the land.
