Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
It is believed that the White Mulberry originates from China, since it has been cultivated there in many varieties for thousands of years. Its leaves are the only food on which the silkworm feeds and the spread of the White Mulberry in the West is linked precisely to the production of silk. History has it that this tree's first shoots were brought to Constantinople in the 6th century AD by some monks from Mount Athos, Greece, hidden in a bamboo cane together with the famous silkworms.
Meaning
Seduction
Silk, produced by the silkworm that feeds exclusively on White Mulberry leaves, is a shiny, smooth, light and soft fiber. A classic emblem of seduction.
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
-100 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
