Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
According to genetic studies, the Lemon was probably an ancient hybrid between the grapefruit and citron. This citrus tree produces beautiful white and violet petals, and highly perfumed fruit. The local population benefits from its precious edible fruit and healing properties.
Meaning
Shivers
What's good isn't always sweet: the lemon for example is loved for the tingling sensations provoked by its acidity.
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.
