Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
Native to China, with small leaves and fragrant, the Mandarin produces sweet fruits and aromatic. A mature tree can take from 400 to 600 fruits per year and is obviously planted for food and to raise farm income by selling local fruits.
Meaning
Perfume
Mandarins, especially their peel, emanate an inebriating, sweet and sour flavor.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 90 kg
2012
0 kg
2022
-90 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
