Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The Courbaril is a precious evergreen tree, with a beautiful umbrella-shaped foliage. It tolerates different atmospheric and soil conditions, resisting both drought and water stagnation.
Meaning
Tenacity
It grows very slowly, yes, but it can reach a height of almost 30 meters.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 100 kg
2021
0 kg
2031
-500 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
