Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The passion fruit comes from South America and is appreciated for the soft pulp of its fruit. Today it’s cultivated in diverse tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. The fruit is a type of berry, varies in color from purple to yellow, and contains numerous seeds immersed in a gelatinous yellow mass. It’s planted especially for the delicious, tropical juice that it yields.
Meaning
Relief
Passion fruit has an acidic taste that gives a feeling of freshness when eaten. Not only that, but as the fruit is also rich in potassium, it is recommended that you eat it during the warmer months for rehydration. In other words, it is a fruit that provides relief on all levels!
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 15 kg
2021
0 kg
2031
-50 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
