Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The Macedonian Oak originates in south-eastern Europe, from Puglia up to the Black Sea. It is a typical Mediterranean species that grows from sea level up to about 600 meters. It's found in the Balkans, Turkey and some Mediterranean islands. While in Italy, it's found in Puglia and Basilicata. It can reach 15 meters in height, and has leathery, glossy leaves, in an oblong shape with serrated edges.
Meaning
Privacy
This tree has chosen very specific areas as its habitat, showing a certain preference for privacy.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 80 kg
2020
0 kg
2030
-200 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
How I am useful to local communities
Soil
It improves the quality of the soil thanks to the nitrogen fixation process or it reduces soil erosion, thanks to its extended root system.
Biodiversity
It helps restocking various animal species, thus helping the variety of fauna and flora overall.
