Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
Pouteria sapota is an evergreen tree that reaches a height of 20 to 25, rarely up to 40 meters and a trunk diameter of up to 1 meter. The crown of the tree is made up of branches that extend horizontally. The large characteristic brown berried fruits grow there. The mamey sapote is widespread in Central and South America and is grown precisely for these fruits. Project participants can generate income by selling the fruits.
Meaning
Stiffened
For a fruit tree, the great sapote is very resistant. The tree grows at altitudes of up to about 1500 meters and also in difficult and deep soils.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 250 kg
2019
0 kg
2029
-500 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
