Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The African locust bean tree has a dense, wide-spreading crown like an umbrella, consisting of massive branches. Height varies from 7 to 20 metres; exceptional specimens may rise as high as 30 metres. The bole is usually straight and cylindrical, often short, but robust and may reach up to 130 cm in diameter.
Meaning
Energising
The pods contain a sweet, yellow, mealy pulp around the seeds. This pulp can be eaten fresh or used to make doughnuts and beverages. It contains up to 29% crude protein and up to 60% saccharose, is rich in vitamin C and high in oil content.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 0 kg

-200 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
