Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The Avocado tree is known for its fruit, which contains a rich source of energy and nutrients. The extracted oil is used in the cosmetics field for its antioxidant and revitalizing properties. Avocado leaves have excellent anti-scarring properties as well. Avocado is planted for fruit cultivation and the shade that it provides for other crops.
Meaning
Creativity
The Avocado has always been considered a fruit of fertility and creativity.
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.
