Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The tamarind is a member of the Fabaceae family and comes from eastern Africa. It’s also present in tropical areas of Asia and Latin America. This massive, slow-growing tree, can grow up to 30 meters tall and over 7 in trunk width in the right conditions. The flowers are inconspicuous, yellow with red or orange strips, and grow in bunches. The fruit is a brown bean that contains pulp and hard seeds. It’s planted for dietary and decorative purposes, as well as for its medicinal properties.

How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 0 kg
2025
0 kg
2035
-200 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
