Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The Cashew tree hails from Brazil and is a branchy evergreen. The fruit is composed of two parts - a fleshy one similar to apples, which is actually its “false” fruit, and the dry cashew nut that we are familiar with. Cashew cultivation aids the economy of small rural communities in Senegal and protects land plots from fires.
Meaning
Love
The word “cashew” derives from the Greek “kardia” and is thus considered one of the fruits associated to love.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 30 kg
2022
0 kg
2032
-300 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
