Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
It can reach 30 meters in height; the branches are distributed irregularly on the tree. The blossoms are comparable to cascades of small, fragrant white flowers. The Acacia Mangium flourishes more or less all year round and the fruits are ready 6-7 months after pollination.
Meaning
All-rounder
Its multiple uses make it an immensely valuable tree!
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 100 kg
2019
0 kg
2029
-200 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
How I am useful to local communities
