Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
A medium-sized evergreen, the grapefruit tree is an ancient hybrid probably between the orange and the shaddock. It has by now constituted its own species for centuries and can be replanted through grafting and rootstocks.
Meaning
Unpredictability
Yellow grapefruits are generally more bitter, while pink ones are sweeter; but actually, there are many other factors that affect the taste of grapefruits. You never know exactly what to expect when you bite into one!
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 25 kg
2018
0 kg
2028
-50 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
