Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
This wonderful tree can grow to be 20-25 meters tall and can live up to 200 years. Its leaves are alternate, they usually are 10 cm long and 4 cm wide and their upper surface is dark green.
Meaning
Healing
In phytotherapy and gemmotherapy, Hornbeam is used to treat respiratory diseases and, in general, to stimulate the production of platelets.
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
2023
0 kg
2033
-200 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.
My benefits
0%

0%
CO₂ Absorption
During its life cycle, each tree will offset CO₂. The trees that you plant can offset your emissions.
0%
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.
