Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
Syzygium aromaticum is the scientific name for the clove tree. Its original homeland is the Maluku Islands, which are located west of New Guinea. It is an evergreen tree that can grow up to 12 metres in height. Its small brown buds have a very intense aroma and contain essential oils. They’re therefore used – carefully dosed – to add fragrance to a wide variety of foods and other products.
Meaning
Unmistakeable
Cloves have an extremely strong and distinctive smell. You might well recognise it among thousands of others.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 40 kg
2022
0 kg
2032
-200 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
