Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
A Central American species, the guava tree is often cultivated in tropical countries. It produces extremely juicy fruit and beautiful, large, perfumed flowers. Guava fruit is consumed both fresh and in the form of juices, nectars, and preserves. It thus provides great support to the rural economy of Kenya to ensure the dietary security of the local population.
Meaning
Beauty
The antioxidant power of guava makes it a bonafide beauty elixir.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*

0 kg
2034
-200 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
