Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The Barbados nut is a small plant that produces biofuel. The seeds are collected and processed to obtain the vegetable oil while the discarded scraps provide a precious source of natural fertilizer. This plant is used to create protective hedges around corn and yuca crops.
Meaning
Protection
This strong, protective plant is used as fencing to safeguard vegetable and flower gardens from animals.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 17 kg
2017
0 kg
2027
-25 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
