Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
A medium-sized evergreen tree, that can grow 20 m high with a trunk of 1.5 m in diameter. Widespread across almost all of Europe, it can live up to 300 years old. Its fruit is the typical acorn.
Meaning
Thrill
From its distinct bark, corks are produced.
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.
