Curiosity about me

The important moments in your tree's life.

Let's start with introductions

A tree that grows from 5 to 10 meters tall, even if in some cases it can reach 15! The Pomelo is famous for its fruits, which are pear-shaped and can measure up to 30 cm in diameter and weigh up to 2 kg. On average, a plant that lives in ideal conditions can produce even 100 fruits per year.

Meaning

Originality

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

2023

0 kg

2033

-100 kg

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