Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The Spanish cedar is an important species of the Meliaceae family. It comes from Central America, is medium-sized, and is used for its insect-repelling resin as well as for honey production.
Meaning
Jealousy
The tree's resin repels just about anything that buzzes around it. If that's not what you call being jealous…
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
2024
0 kg
2034
-500 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
