Curiosity about me

The important moments in your tree's life.

Let's start with introductions

A native of India and Burma, the Neem is an evergreen tree that can reach up to 30 metres in height. It is used as a shade tree, thanks to its thick foliage, and as a barrier to desertification, especially in the Saharan regions. But its peculiarity is above all that told by its name in Sanskrit: Sarva roda nidarini, the healer of all ills. There's an almost infinite amount of uses for every part of this tree, from the bark to the leaves.

Meaning

Future

The UN has defined Neem as the tree of the 21st century.

How much CO2 I’ll absorb

My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*

0 kg

2033

-900 kg

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