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
- 100 kg
2013
0 kg
2023
-100 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
My benefits
90%
Food Security
The trees will bear fruits, some that will be edible immediately and others that can become edible through processing, ensuring food resources over time.
60%
Economic development
The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.
30%
CO₂ Absorption
During its life cycle, each tree will offset CO₂. The trees that you plant can offset your emissions.
20%
Environmental protection
The trees are planted in agroforestry systems that favor the virtuous interaction between the different species and their positive impact on the environment and on the land.
