Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The macadamia is an evergreen member of the Proteaceae family. It can grow up to 40 meters tall, has elliptical leaves, and grows white-pink flowers in bunches. Originally from Australia, the macadamia tree is planted for its oil-producing seeds and the macadamia nut that’s famous for being full of nutrients and minerals.

How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 40 kg
2022
0 kg
2032
-200 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
