The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The Black Plum is a medium-sized tree, growing to a height between 10 and 30 metres and a width of one metre. It has a strong trunk and very thick foliage of elliptical leaves. When in season, the tree is densely dotted with the black plums that give the tree its name.
Meaning
Brotherhood
Despite their slightly bitter taste, the fruits of the Black Plum tree are widely used as food by many populations, they are much appreciated by various species of birds and the nectar of its flowers is a feast for bees. It is a tree that gives its fruits to many different forms of life, with generosity and brotherhood.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 150 kg
2019
0 kg
2029
-300 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
