Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
Khanyu is the Nepalese name of this species of Wild Fig tree, typical of this area. It can grow up to 10 meters in height and develops a very dense crown, which makes it an ideal tree to provide shade to other species. Its fruits are edible, rich in fiber and also have medicinal properties.
Meaning
Devotion
This tree is pollinated only by a species of wasp that lays its eggs inside its flowers. Their relationship is one of total and mutual devotion and symbiosis. For this reason the Khanyu flourishes several times over the seasons, so as to allow more opportunities for the wasp's reproduction.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 10 kg
2022
0 kg
2032
-100 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
