Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The Mango thrives in tropical and subtropical areas. Few people know that it can grow up to 45 meters in height and can produce great quantities of fruit: it can be eaten fresh or processed and used in many different recipes. Actually, that is the reason why it is planted: to provide fruit to the local population, who can eat it or trade it.
Meaning
Happiness
The mango is the fruit of sun and joy for its color, perfume, and taste.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 420 kg
2018
0 kg
2028
-700 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
